Why is AI interesting to you?

I use AI because I'm extremely curious and eager to learn new things. That's what pushed me to explore Midjourney a little over a year ago. The ability to bring my vision to life visually was a groundbreaking discovery for me as an art director. It feels like I can conduct limitless photoshoots and explore endless fashion and photography concepts.

How have you been using these kinds of tools in your practice?

Later, I started generating work from my own digital illustrations and collages, trying to create my own signature style through AI. I’ve experimented with a number of tools, including the Automatic1111 Web UI, exploring uses for ControlNet, various upscalers, and different models. I appreciate Alpaca in particular because I recognize some of that functionality that I can use directly in the Photoshop environment. Creating models with it is also very easy.

Tell us about the pieces you've shared here.

For the work I’ve shared here, I first created a few pieces with Midjourney, inspired by my own digital illustrations and collages. I then used these pieces to train a custom model with Alpaca. I created many beautiful pieces in the style that I had trained, both by directly prompting the model and by using reference images to fine-tune the results.
