Epic First Dates

An AI-infused photo series generating background worlds based off my own body of work, combined with comping in real talent performance captured in camera.

PROCESS

This hybrid AI-infused process involves creating the worlds in AI based on training a data set on my own world, and capturing the talent and subject in camera. The workflow allows us to elevate production value with seamless comps without the expense of CGI workflows or the jenky arduous nature of using stock, bringing down the cost and timeline of post. Blending the AI worlds with the real captured talent is a craft that unlocks more creative possiblities.
