RETOUCHING/AI (Copy)

 

WHAT CAN I HELP YOU edit or create TODAY?

 

Beauty/PRODUCT retouching

I specialize in beauty retouching with extra attention to detail. I will work with dodging & burning and all that good stuff you want to make your images look high-end and polished (no presets, no cutting corners). I also have years of experience in editing product photography and compositing.

AI-GENERATION

New to the AI world but making strides and always learning new things. I can generate commercially usable images for multiple purposes and I have experience applying these skills in projects with real clients. AI generation with the eye of a Photographer with 10+ years of experience in the field.

AI + PHOTOGRAPHY MERGING & COMPOSITING

AI images usually need a little bit of polishing after generation, I have ample experience compositing real photography and AI-generations to make them look seamless and I can re-generate botched details.

RETOUCH PORTFOLIO


AI IMPLEMENTATION PORTFOLIO

AI Pitch for L’Oreal - La Roche Posay

The goal was to take ordinary studio shots that the team snuck in during a video shoot and create luxurious and premium compositions to present the product without having to invest in a whole photoshoot for each.

The images were generated with Stable Diffusion with some extra generations done in Photoshop Gen-Fill and final blending done manually in Photoshop.


AI Pitch for VIVO

The goal was to take ordinary product shots and create new luxurious and premium variations in composition to present the product without having to invest in a whole photoshoot for each.

The images were generated with Stable Diffusion with some extra generations done in Photoshop Gen-Fill and final blending done manually in Photoshop.


AI Pitch for Action (Netherlands)

The goal was to generate backgrounds for the Austrian, Dutch, and Spanish market, from the same source images, but giving them a more “lifestyle” look rather than a studio or e-commerce feel.

The images were generated with Stable Diffusion with some extra generations done in Photoshop Gen-Fill and final blending done manually in Photoshop.


AI Generations for COPEC (Chilean Petrol Company)

I was tasked with generating two Chilean characters who meet in the early 1930s, fall in love in the 1940s, get married, and age together while growing a huge family.

Requests were to keep character and style consistency. Images needed to look like they were of the era they were supposed to be shot at, with people belonging to the right ethnicities, and have them age corresponding to the time period generated.

The images were generated with a mix of Stable Diffusion + Leonardo.Ai + Photoshop

Some of the resulting images were animated in Runway and others were kept as stills and placed into a slideshow which played on massive screens behind a speaker in the Hilton Hotel in Buenos Aires in August of 2024.

It’s a long story, but even though they are fictional characters created by AI, after all the work put into this project, I feel like I know them and am a bit attached to them. I hope you enjoy their “love story”.


FACE SWAPPING WITH AI

Another interesting thing we can do with AI is swapping faces on generations. I ran extensive tests on this tool on my own face.

The process starts by gathering a comprehensive enough dataset of a person’s face. In my case, I gathered selfies, and some professionally shot portraits, from as many angles as possible so that the AI would “get to know me”, and remember and understand my face. I used 50 photos for the data set. It works with fewer but more images is more info for the AI in this case. I normally wear lipstick so this made so many generations come out with makeup on, this was an interesting find.

In the end, I was able to produce“photoshoots” by world-renowned photographers and artists from the past, in dream-like locations, wearing couture or fantasy wardrobe. Anything I asked for.

It’s a fun tool and I can see many exciting uses for it in the future.

Images were created on Stable Diffusion + background extension, retouching, and extra compositing/cleanup were done manually in Photoshop.
