All is not as it seems... This is @nicolee.spicee in Switzerland. Or maybe the South of France. Or perhaps a non-descript London park. Read below for more info and swipe to the end to see how this set was designed! ❤️ This isn't just a background replacement! In Nvidia Canvas, I drew a simple conceptualised sketch of the mountains and clouds you see in the background and AI turned my drawing into a photo-realistic landscape render! To help with the render, I gave the software an old photo I took of Nice, South of France, and it used that image as reference to create the right lighting, colours and textures for the AI image. The resolution of Nvidia Canvas renders are currently far too low to use practically, so I utilised another AI system: image upscaling, to increase the resolution 4X while maintaining detail! The finished result is, I think, an incredibly convincing but completely made up location; conjured up from my imagination and inspired by the colours and vibe of one of my old landscape photos I'd completely forgotten about. To me, combining cutting edge AI with in-depth photography editing is absolutely incredible and I'm excited to be (one of?) the first to use Nvidia Canvas combined with creative portrait photography in this way!

This is @pamsigrandon next to Central Saint Martins! Most of what I create is one big experiment, with no rhyme or reason. The editing process often boils down to intuitively messing around until some sort of "end" emerges. Not everything I create will be incredible or resonate with people, but every piece of work is part of my evolution and if I only posted "perfection", my profile would be completely blank... Keep on creating, no matter what and despite whatever your inner critic is telling you. A big thank you to @dianakenyeres and @gaetanodimeglio for assisting with this one! ❤️🙏
