Full article about the “professional portrait magician” below.
When reality blends seamlessly in AI-generated images, you are faced with two facts: the dawn of artificial imagery and the growing dependence on computer-generated visual effects. These are the core tenets that Kudelabs, the company behind InstantStudio, has built its new venture upon. They are riding the trend of Generative AI while specializing in a category that produces professional-looking portraits instead of wacky ones.
Adeh Desandies, Kudelab’s CTO, is banking on a specific real-world use case for such technology. He believes that people are inclined to portray their best professional selves online. He understands that there is a demand for such a tool, especially now that people recognize the importance of looking sharp if they are to succeed in their careers.
The service offers customers a way to have great-looking professional photos without having to leave their desks to travel to a photo studio in their neighborhood. It allows them to dress up without paying loads of money to actually dress up. It saves them time and money – two resources we often find ourselves lacking.
We tried the professional portrait magician ourselves, and we’re amazed by the results. We received 60 “creations” generated by the system after submitting 10 sample photos, which they call training photos. He explained that they have to generate 60 photos per order because there will always be some photos that are not a hundred percent resemblant of one’s true image. The higher the number of creations, the better chance the person has of finding the perfect AI-generated photo that suits him or her perfectly.
So, we ended up with a lot of these AI portraits, and we just can’t get enough of it. It was a totally fun experience looking at all the results, the creations. You get to see yourself in a different way. You get to wonder, “Oh, I need to have this haircut; it definitely suits me.”
Kudelabs has incorporated advanced algorithms to ensure that the generated portraits maintain a high level of realism. The nuanced details, from the texture of the skin to the play of light in the eyes, contribute to an uncanny resemblance to authentic photographs.
As the buzz around InstantStudio continues to grow, Kudelabs is actively exploring enterprise partnerships across various industries. The applications of this technology extend beyond individual users seeking polished online profiles; it has the potential to revolutionize how businesses present their team members, with consistent and visually appealing professional portraits that elevate the overall brand image. With a commitment to continuous improvement and innovation, Kudelabs is set to redefine the landscape of AI-generated imagery, paving the way for a new era of visual expression and communication.
This is just the beginning for Desandies’ AI adventure. The world of generative AI is immense, and several software applications with interesting potential use cases await discovery. He, and his team of AI experts, is at the forefront of this innovative technology.
