Dal-e2 An artificial intelligence program created by OpenAI Which can create images and art from text descriptions in a natural language. For example, you can type ‘an astronaut on a horse in a photorealistic style’ and DALL-E 2 will create exactly what you typed, as prompt as it can be.
DALL-E 2 is only available to beta testers, including Photographer 7 Matthew Stern. We’ve seen lots of content from Stern over the years, including videos of using a Canon 65mm F0.75 X-ray lens and creating an ‘anthotype’ print with beet juice. Stern Loves Strange and unusual camera and lens, so it is understandable that he will use DALL-E 2 to create unique photo equipment.
The C-3PO-inspired medium format camera was developed by DALL-E2 near Stern |
When using DALL-E 2, you provide your text input and wait about 10 seconds. After working the magic of DALL-E 2, you will get 10 results. You can then select your preferences and adjust the details to get more precise results. Before inputting the camera’s details, Stern had some fun, rendering the DALL-E 2 render ‘a picture of a tiger with a wig’, ‘enjoying a day at a sloth spa’ and a ‘portrait of a cat pirate’. Among others. Stern, a huge fan of Star Wars, also took the opportunity to render Yoda DALL-E in other movies, such as Mary Poppins And Batman.
The main attraction of Stern’s video below is not the ridiculous AI creation, though they are great, it is the different camera design rendered by his DALL-E 2. Stern’s AI-created cameras include inspiration based on some popular franchises such as Star Wars, Lord of the Rings, Back to the Future and other generic themes such as superheroes, monsters, cartoons and more.
As you can see in the video, not every detail makes a great camera. While there are many great camera designs, AI still has some limitations. Most of the time, DALL-E 2 does a great job, but no matter how you describe it, you don’t always know exactly what you’re looking for.
If you want to see more pictures of Stern’s creative AI-generated cameras, you can see them on his camera Instagram. If you want to try DALL-E 2 for yourself, of course Sign up for the waiting list. Visit to see Stern’s ‘weird’ video YouTube.
