Doctor’s Visit. After Tom of Finland, 1974
I’ve created a new series using the same workflow as my original set, but this time set in a doctor's office. The change in setting offered an interesting twist on the concept
I wanted to showcase some of the fails as well. When working with AI, errors are part of the process. The challenge lies in deciding whether to fix them or start anew. Sometimes, it’s more efficient to select the best parts from multiple generations. Other times, an exceptional image is worth the effort of inpainting.
Some artifacts are particularly challenging to fix. For client work, I occasionally send images for professional retouching — hand painting is a specialized skill. While I’m willing to invest time in my own photography, painting in specific styles can be more demanding and time-consuming than I can manage for personal projects.
There’s no one-size-fits-all approach to handling AI-generated art. Each image presents its own set of challenges and opportunities, requiring a flexible approach to achieve.
