Taking a selfie in Paris, Anime Style
I made these in October 2023, after a selfie photo of Feet45Paris, now known on Instagram as @alpha_lomaxx. Originally, I published a photographic version, which I put into a reel. I have always liked these anime versions better, for it‘s more transformative
When I posted the photographic version, some people asked why it has no face. Well, F45P posted a photo without face, so it would feel strange to create an image with a made up face. So this version also has no face. Although it’s drawn by AI, it’s based on a real photo.
The technology is mainly used to create variations — variations of different street scenes in Paris, while keeping the pose the same — the same exact pose that F45P would pose in all his selfies. He always holds his phone this way. It’s so recognizable that I would make a comment about it, and he laughed at my observations.
