AI Learning Studio

Since 2022, at NewportFilm we have been exploring artificial intelligence and the revolutionary possibilities it brings to the creative industry.

AI is changing the way we work and create—and we want to make the technology accessible to everyone.

That’s why we launch the AI Learning Studio and offer courses in AI-tools for creative work and digital content—for both beginners and professionals who wish to harness the full potential of the technology.

Our courses are for everyone who wants to learn, experiment and create with AI—whether you are a photographer, filmmaker, artist, content creator, or simply curious about how AI can enhance your creative process.

Our goal is always to deliver the best for our participants—with a keen eye for detail, a passion for storytelling and a constant curiosity for the visual possibilities of the future.

AI as an Artistic Tool
1 day course

This course is for you who not only want to learn the technique — but also want to use AI as a creative and artistic tool.

We work from a visual and aesthetic perspective, where image creation is not just about generating beautiful images, but about creating mood, storytelling and a distinct artistic identity.

During the session, we work both conceptually and practically: from your internal image-vision and source of inspiration to the concrete workflow where your ideas become high-quality visual works.

Format and Outcome

This course is built as a practical, dialogue-based process that starts with you — your current skill level and the direction you want to grow in.

We move back and forth between hands-on image creation and conversations about intention, meaning, and expression. This way, both your technical abilities and your artistic direction develop side by side. Throughout the process, you’ll receive ongoing feedback to help you clarify what you want your images to communicate, and how to translate that into a consistent visual practice.

We’ll work directly in Midjourney and Freepik (AI Image Generator), and you’ll learn how to guide these tools with purpose and intention, rather than generating images at random. The focus is on transforming ideas into images with coherence, atmosphere, and identity.

By the end of the course, you’ll leave with a personal project or image series, a stronger visual sensibility, and a clearer understanding of your own artistic voice.

Who the Course Is For

You don’t need a defined style or any specific technical background to join. What matters most is curiosity and a genuine interest in working seriously with visual expression.

In this workshop, you won’t just learn how to use AI tools like Midjourney and Freepik—you’ll learn how to direct them. The focus is on shaping the technology to serve your vision, not the other way around. You’ll learn to work with intention, so your images develop direction, character, and coherence that reflect you.

If you’re already experienced, the course offers a chance to deepen and refine your visual identity. If you’re just starting out, it offers a space to find direction, build a foundation, and explore how your perspective can carry meaning.

In short: all levels are welcome. Your commitment matters more than your experience.

Visual Narratives Created During the Workshop

The images shown here are examples of what can emerge when we use AI as an artistic instrument. The visual approach is one I’ve developed myself — and it’s something I share in the course. Not to be copied, but as a set of tools and working methods you can adapt to your own expression.

We’ll work with mood, rhythm, color, and presence within the image — and also with what happens between the images: the resonance, the quiet, the unspoken.

The aim isn’t to recreate references, but to build a personal visual language where subject, light, and texture allow something internal to take external form.

The result often becomes image series that feel more like small narratives than individual pieces. Images that could be memories, dreams, impressions — works that continue to unfold each time you return to them.

Here, we don’t use AI as a shortcut – We use it as an instrument. And when used with intention, the images begin to breathe.

Instructor

The course is led by Yassine Anthonisen Lazib – photographer, editor, and filmmaker with more than 20 years of experience in visual storytelling. His work ranges from large-scale commercial productions and documentaries to artistic and personal film projects, and he has created content for clients such as B&O, DR, Netflix, and HBO.

Yassine’s approach is calm, reflective, and dialogue-based. He works with light, composition, and atmosphere as the foundation of the image, and places emphasis on understanding the person or process he is working with. The aim is never to impose a style, but to help you develop a visual language that feels authentic and sustainable over time.

Since 2022, Yassine and Newport Film have worked actively with AI tools as part of the creative process. Not as shortcuts, but as a new way of thinking about image-making and visual identity. This work led to the creation of the AI Learning Studio, where AI is made accessible to both professionals and beginners—as a tool that can be guided, shaped, and used with intention.

The course is built on two core strengths: a strong sensitivity to the human and artistic aspects of image-making, and a clear understanding of how emerging technologies can be used with purpose and meaning.

Sofie, Photogrpher

“This course helped me find direction in my images. I had worked with AI before, but it only became meaningful here. It wasn’t about the tools—it was about learning to see. It changed my visual expression.”
Mira, Visuel Artist

“Yassine doesn’t just teach the tools—he teaches you to use them with intention. This is the first time I’ve felt that AI isn’t taking over my expression, but supporting it.”
Daniel, Graphic Designer

“The best part was that everything moved at my pace. There was room for my questions, my hesitation, and my ideas. I left with a series I’m genuinely proud of.”
Amina, Artist and Illustrator

“I thought I was coming to learn prompts. But I left with a much clearer sense of what I want to do with my images in general—in AI and in the camera. It felt like something opened.”
Laura, Photographer and Visual Artist

“I was surprised by how important the conversations were. It wasn’t just about ‘pressing the button.’ We worked with what images do—and why they feel right or wrong. It was genuinely valuable.”
Emil, Photographer

“It gave me a way to work with AI where I can still recognize myself in the images. Before, it felt a bit random—now there’s direction and a sense of ease in the process.”

FAQs

The course is for anyone working visually or wishing to learn: photographers, filmmakers, artists, designers, creative producers—and you who are curious about AI as an artistic tool. No experience with AI is necessary.
No. You’ll learn everything during the course. Both beginners and experienced creators are welcome, as we work individually and adjust the level to where you are.
You should bring your laptop and preferably a mouse. If you have moodboards, pictures, notes or references you’d like to work from—bring them. Otherwise we’ll find inspiration together.
We work primarily in Midjourney and Freepik (AI Image Generator). You get help with setup and workflow so you can continue working at home without assistance.
Both. We learn the tools—but the focus is on developing your visual expression, not just generating images. The technique serves the intention.
Yes. Breakfast and lunch are included, and there is tea, coffee, water and light refreshments available all day.
The course is held at The Social House, Store Regnegade 12, 1110 Copenhagen K. – We also offer the course online for those who prefer to join remotely.
There is a maximum of 4 participants in each group. This makes room for individual support, personal guidance, and the time to work at your own pace. You’ll receive both group instruction and direct feedback on your own images throughout the course.

My Approach to AI and Visual Creation

My own work often leans toward the organic and sensory—images with stillness, texture, depth, and a mood that lingers. But that’s my reference point. In the course, the focus is on finding your way of seeing—your tone, your visual voice. The goal is not to give you a style, but to help you develop one that feels genuinely your own.

I’ll show you how to use AI as a tool that you guide, so it supports your intention rather than pulling you in a direction that doesn’t feel right. You’ll learn both the technical techniques and the artistic decision-making, as well as how to stay connected to an expression that comes from something personal.
