CREATE AI COMPOSITES

The use of AI is a controversial topic and it's possible to see both sides of the argument when photographers' images are being used as source material for generated visuals.

However, AI is here to stay and with your creative expertise and input, you can produce images that include Al, without losing integrity as a professional creative.

Shooting environmental portraits can be challenging when you don't have the gear, the space or the budget for an elaborate location. However, by using AI as part of the creative process, we can achieve incredible pieces of art that come straight out of your imagination. This way, you can shoot your subjects in the studio and then composite them into any environment you wish.

In this tutorial, we'll explore the different steps you can use to overcome any confusion in your shooting process and your post-processing when compositing photography and AI elements. We'll also examine the knowledge and skills needed to capture your model in any situation and unlock your creativity with AI technology for generated backgrounds.

For this process, you will need to be familiar with basic lighting and Photoshop, but you don't need to know anything about Al. With consistent studio or small flash lighting and software blending techniques, it's possible to create mind-blowing results.
