As a photographer and retoucher, I integrate AI tools into my creative workflow to enhance and expand existing ideas. Using commercially safe Adobe AI platforms to craft generative imagery that complement the photography and retouching process—transforming initial captures into polished, imaginative visuals.
By working with AI intentionally, We can achieve results that are both innovative and professionally reliable without compromising the authenticity of the productions contributors or the brands involved.
My first deep dive into generative fill in Photoshop was a submission to the Atlanta Jazz Festival. It was both an artistic experiment and an opportunity to explore what AI tools could do in a creative workflow.
All of the images began with a photographic base, which provided an initial structure and feel. From there, I used a combination of prompts and a composite-building approach to guide the generative fill process. This allowed me to merge authentic elements with imaginative, AI-enhanced details.
The final results were a blend of the organic and the algorithmic—the new frontier of generative creativity.
