Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you no doubt have heard all of the dissention that AI (artificial intelligence) has created in the art community. From ethics to legality, all manner of artists have been up in arms either embracing or condemning it.
So is it friend or foe?
One thing I’ve learned from my short time playing with the amazing AI art tools is that this it’s probably going to be here for the long haul and that I might as well get on the bandwagon and embrace it as a friend, treating it as just another tool to help me realize my creative vision.
You might be asking yourself, isn’t AI cheating? The short answer is ... it depends. You’re still telling the computer what you want to see and it might help aid in the end result, or it might help inspire you to go in a different direction.
Personally, I think it’s helpful for my creative team when crafting things like crazy makeup, outfits or headpieces and that is what today’s shoot is all about!
Our makeup artist used AI to come up with some examples of what we could do for this shoot. We didn't want to replicate things exactly but what AI provided helped to inspire the direction we headed in.
💡 Lighting (4)
1. The main light here is a magnum reflector with grid. I chose this hard light modifier to give the light a punchy look.
2. The second strobe we introduced used a 10 degree grid to help lift the shadows under the model’s chin.
3. The 3rd strobe is on a floor stand behind the model pointed at the background to provide separation and a gradient background.
4. Last but not least I introduced a 1x4’ strip softbox with grid and purple gel as a hair light since the model’s hair was blending in a bit too much with the background.
