The Intersection of Creativity and Technology: HDR in Fashion and Beauty Photography
Sarah Silver, photographer
Abstract: Photographer Sarah Silver is known for pushing boundaries with her fashion and beauty work, but the SDR range often undermines her ability to reach her full artistic vision. Using her recent iPhone fashion and beauty HDR photoshoot as the backdrop, Silver will illustrate how HDR technology expands creative possibilities, solves traditional photographic limitations, and opens up a bright and vivid new world within the genre of fashion and beauty image making.
[view speaker bio]
Born in Tokyo to parents who traveled the world, Sarah first fell in love with image making while working in her grandfather’s basement darkroom. Shortly after finishing her Master’s Degree in Photography at the School of Visual Arts in New York City, she was chosen to shoot for Surface Magazine’s prestigious Avant Guardian issue. Incorporating dancers as models, this fashion shoot marked the beginning of Sarah’s love for combining spontaneity, movement and image making.
An established fashion, beauty and movement photographer and director, Sarah’s varied list of clients include Ariana Grande x R.E.M Beauty, GXVE by Gwen Stefani Haus Labs by Lady Gaga, L’Oreal and Nike and Vogue. Sarah teaches photography seminars worldwide and has been a guest lecturer at The School of Visual Arts for over 20 years. Most recently, she presented at the 2024 ISO conference at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in NYC.

Speeding Up Creativity through Generative Imaging
Yannick Hold-Geoffroy, Adobe
Abstract: Recent advancements in computational imaging, particularly in generative imaging, have had a significant impact on the work of multimedia artists, introducing new and unexpected workflows to accelerate artistic processes. We are currently experiencing a time where both technical professionals and artists, as well as the general public, are adapting to a new reality marked by the availability of on-demand content and generation of masterpieces at our fingertips. This presentation delves into the recent developments and breakthroughs in image generation, editing, and lighting capture, along with their practical applications. We discuss new possibilities for creating realistic extrapolations of images and their role in image editing. Join us in this session to gain insights into lighting and image generation, as seen through the eyes of users.

Yannick Hold-Geoffroy is a senior engineer and research scientist working at Adobe since 2018. He focuses on lighting estimation and modeling, inverse rendering, image analysis, and 3D reconstruction. He earned his PhD from Laval University, Québec City, under the supervision of Jean-François Lalonde. Hold-Geoffroy notably contributed to Adobe's image generator Firefly, the Match Image feature in Adobe Stager, and the infrastructure behind Neural Filters in Photoshop, among other things. His passion lies in creating new technologies that simplify technical work, allowing multimedia artists to concentrate on visual storytelling.

Color Vision and the Perception of Light Versus Material
Frederick Kingdom, McGill Vision Research, Montreal General Hospital
Abstract: Color vision has traditionally been seen as the poor cousin of luminance vision in terms of providing information about the spatial layout and properties of objects in the image. However an important advantage of color vision for image analysis is in helping to distinguish variations in light, such as from shading and shadows, from variations in material, such as from paint and pigmentation. I review some of the evidence for this in both computer and biological vision, as well as show examples of the mistakes that can be made when using color to distinguish light from material.
[view speaker bio]
Frederick Kingdom is a professor in the Department of Ophthalmology and Visual Sciences at McGill University and a senior scientist at Montreal General Hospital. His research focuses on the relationship between the initial stages of vision that detect local features such as edges, bars, and surface markings, and intermediate stages that link up those features to form contours, textures, and surfaces. A full understanding of this process involves research in a number of domains, including spatial vision, color vision, stereopsis, binocular vision, texture perception, brightness and lightness perception, and transparency. Together with psychophysical, i.e., behavioral methods, his research involves image processing applied to images of natural scenes and mathematical modeling of the underlying mechanisms of vision.
