Authentic Portraits in the Age of AI (Part 1 of 2)

In an age when AI can generate beautiful images in seconds, what makes a portrait unforgettable?

Join photographer, author, and Sony Artisan Chris Orwig for an inspiring presentation on the art of authentic portraiture. Through stories, photographs, and insights from more than two decades behind the camera, Chris explores why the most meaningful portraits begin not with technical perfection, but with curiosity, presence, and genuine human connection.

Whether you're photographing clients, strangers, or the people you love most, you'll leave with practical ideas for creating portraits with greater honesty, depth, and emotional resonance.

...and be sure to join us Wednesday October 7, 2026 for part 2 of this series, where Chris will have a live portrait demo.
