Been working on this one for awhile. Rolls Royce Spectre x Chrome Hearts spec. The car is fully CGI including the interior. Talent is AI. I had this idea for nearly 2 years and was just unable to ever translate it into a "real photoshoot" due to how impossible getting chrome hearts pieces for wardrobe was. No limits now!
Thanks to @constantinmartensvonkampen for pushing this one over the finish line with his epic retouch. Also @anthe.cr3 for all his modeling skills on this project.
New experiments combining some backplates I shot up on Angeles crest with a CGI Aston Martin DBS and some AI talent.
Plates shot on the Fuji GFX car rendered in Vray talent with various AI's.
Hunting in Alaska with the Dodge Power Wagon, Sig Sauer rifles and some gear by Sitka.
CGI for the truck. AI for everything else.
Making small improvements every set just need to keep exploring what's possible.
Haven't been able to get up to Montana in a while so AI to the rescue again. Quick fly fishing set with the Ford Bronco Badlands edition.
AI plates and talent with Chatgpt and Gemini. Bronco rendered with Maya/Vray.
Challenging myself to do an AI set every day until I run out of textured cars.
Took the Audi RS6 to a Sea Ranch inspired hotel stay.
Maya/Vray etc with Gemini and Seedream.
What car should be next!
Christmas is coming! Seeing how far I can push AI with this one. Every day I get faster at these scenes. Mix some real photos with AI + CGI and you can bring anything to life. Although I have a feeling there's going to be less and less CGI moving forward.
Some real photos with AI and CGI. Who cares anymore.
Backplates shot by me with Fuji GFX, CGI with Maya/Vray and AI talent with ComfyUI and all composited in Nuke.
Thanks to @anthe.cr3 for his help building this Manthey 991.1 GT3 MR ( which is the best 911 FIGHT me) and to @albalidia__ for helping me style talent because I don't have a clue.
Turning up the volume on color and style going all CGI and AI on this one! We prefer to shoot things in real life with real talent but we are also intrigued to see where this new era might take us. Consistency’s getting better and even if skin texture is improving we are still a long way from getting it to look authentic. Same goes for expressions and “in the moment” captures. Anyways - we’ll always stay curious and at the forefront of image creation.

@vbecart and I decided to try to train some LoRA's on my headshot process I've been working on.
The results are super promising and I cannot wait for the future. Unlimited creativity is the most liberating thing as a creative.
Far from perfect but it's getting better every week.
Generated with a combination of Flux,Gemini in ComfyUI.

Partnered up with @constantinmartensvonkampen to see how far we can push hybrid generative AI + CGI workflow.
I'd had this rusty metal Richard Serra inspired scene in my head for years but was never able to execute it in full CGI in a way that made me happy.
Unlimited creativity is here. What are you going to do with it.
AI with Midjourney and ComfyUI, The M7 was rendered in Maya/Vray.
