AI Imaging
Photorealistic imagery developed with generative AI under precise art direction. Lighting, composition, perspective and materials are shaped around the brief, with selected images refined through compositing and manual retouching in Photoshop. Each final image is reviewed for visual consistency, credible detail and its intended use.

EXISTING IMAGE, NEW ENVIRONMENT
A new setting built around an existing photograph. The subject’s position and framing are retained, while the surrounding environment is developed to suit the brief. Compositing and retouching bring lighting, colour and detail together in the final image.
NEW COMPOSITIONS, SAME PRODUCT
Product references guide the creation of new compositions and settings. Shape, proportions, materials and identifying details are checked against the supplied photography, with compositing and retouching used to resolve inconsistencies and refine the final result.

Heaven Small — Trendsetter
Cover artwork · 2024
Midjourney / ChatGPT / Photoshop
Cover artwork developed from a concept sketch, visual inspiration and photographic references of Heaven. Precise art direction guided the composition, lighting, styling and colour palette before AI generation.
Detailed Photoshop compositing and retouching refined her likeness, corrected facial proportions and hair, added her distinctive cheek tattoo and cleaned up the surrounding scene—bringing the concept to a finished cover while keeping the artist recognisable.
CONCEPT SKETCH
REAL LIKENESS, IMAGINED SCENE
AI-generated imagery built around a real person’s likeness, guided by photographic references and precise art direction. Composition, styling and environment are developed around the concept, with detailed Photoshop retouching used to refine facial features, hair and distinctive details while keeping the person recognisable.
From brief to final image
01 — Direction
We establish the purpose of the images, the intended audience and where they will be used. References help define the visual direction, lighting, atmosphere and composition.
03 — Image development
Generated elements and photographic material are developed into a coherent image. Perspective, scale, lighting and colour are considered together throughout the process.
02 — Source material
I assess the photographs and product references available for the project. Where needed, new photography can provide a more suitable starting point.
04 — Finishing
Compositing and retouching refine the selected images, resolve distracting details and prepare the final compositions for their intended use.
