The works presented here sit at the intersection of fine-art photography, digital compositing, and AI-assisted image generation.
Many of the images include real people, often the same subjects appearing across multiple works, and are constructed as hybrid composites that combine original photographic elements with carefully directed AI-generated components. Each piece is treated as a finished artwork, not a raw AI output.
Every image undergoes extensive post-production using professional tools including Adobe Lightroom 6, Photoshop CS6, Luminar Neo, and the Nik Collection. The emphasis is always on realism, tonal control, texture, and narrative coherence — the same standards applied to traditional photographic work.
All AI generation is carried out on my own self-built workstation, powered by an NVIDIA RTX 5090 GPU, using advanced interfaces such as ComfyUI and SD-Next. I work primarily with FLUX and CyberRealistic models, alongside selected tools from Midjourney, OpenAI, and Google Gemini, choosing each for its strengths within a broader creative workflow.
AI remains imperfect — hands in particular are a well-known limitation, especially when they occupy only a small part of a complex scene. Rather than hiding these shortcomings, I document and address them through compositing, manual correction, and traditional retouching. A separate page explores this process in more detail.
These images are not experiments. They are crafted visual artworks, blending photography and AI in a controlled, intentional way — with the final result guided by experience, not automation.
The image above is a composite of two edited MidJourney generations along with CS6, LR6 and Nik Filter manipulation. The creative process is described in more detail here Learn More?
