  • For this video I invited Oliver Fox, a food and product photographer from Salzburg, Austria. In this first video, of three, we create two AI-generated environments for two bottles of gin.
    In part two we will photograph the two gin bottles and in the last and third video I go through the Photoshop process to put together the real products with the AI environments.
    Check out the RUclips AI channel of Oliver Fox: / @oliver_fox_ai

    I remember when digital camera sales started to eclipse film camera sales. There was a great hue and cry that photography would soon be dead….. and here we are, same song different verse. To some folks, every advance in technology sounds the death knell of whatever they’re doing now. It’s been my experience that techological advances favor those who embrace them right away, making the new leaders in the industry. The amazing thing is that there are photographers still using bellows and plates to make great images.

    I used Stable Diffusion for compositing, and compared to your workflow, I always felt that the images produced with Stable Diffusion were not as stunning and lacked a bit in texture quality. However, its advantage lies in its strong control. After continuous tweaking, I obtained a series of usable images, although the process in between was not smooth. In the end, I used PS bate for compositing, and the generated images may not reach advertisement-level quality, but they are at least suitable for commercial use. I hope you can also produce a series of videos about Stable Diffusion, hoping to gain more inspiration👍

    Hey , I liked The Idea Of Creating A Product Photoshot , But let Me Give You A ( Secret Formula ) For More Realism :
    Imagine prompt :
    - Type of Photography
    - Type of lenses
    - Choose the Focal Length
    - Add The Main Subject
    - Choose the Direction
    - Select Your Style Design
    - The Aspect Ratio
    Ps : Before The Aspect Ratio , Add this :
    ( A professional color grading, soft shadows, no contrast, Clean sharp focus )

    Thank you for sharing your process. I wonder if would be possible to combine Ai with mods in Blender 3D or any other software for CGI. That could give more immediate control on environment, props, light direction, texture and such. This process could be made as a pattern (simillarry to filters in photoshop). They could be transferable or repeatable for many products. Or shared between people to use on their photoshoots of similar products. Just a thought.

    • @botvidsson

    I'm a photographer doing a lot of architectural work and shopping centres. Often, I need my scenes to look busier than they are in real life. I simply cannot wait to be able to shoot a scene and have an AI engine populate it EXACTLY how I need it to be as well as fix any defects etc.

      Yes soon. Soon AI will making photos of the shopping centre from the plans. As a retiring pro photographer I see the landscape (cough) changing radically in the near future. Why will a designer hire a photographer when they can create a product shot, or fashion shot, or whatever, from the comfort of their desk and tweak it till it’s exactly as they want. I’m not suggesting photographers are about to go extinct en masse, but if I was just setting out I’d be thinking long and hard about my career choice. Midjourney and the like have their limits, but man they are just learning to crawl, and they are scary good right now.

      @@robinhodgkinson 100% agree. If I was a product photographer, a retoucher or an illustrator I'd be getting worried, very worried, very soon. I suspect Adobe isn't really far off announcing some kind of "prop AI retoucher" tool (for an additional subscription fee of course) where all you have to do is highlight the areas that need to be tweaked and it'll do it in a heartbeat, that's my guess anyway. I'm also getting there'll always be value in photographers capturing "real moments" such as events, editorial stuff etc but anything setup (fashion, portraits etc) is also probably very much at risk I'd say.

But this has me really second-guessing my path. If I had been doing it for some time with an established clientel, I wouldn't be so worried and would pivot to using this as a tool like those in this video. But with no established clients, who would hire a photographer for their prices when they could produce something like this for less and less time. Businesses are always looking for the most economical means to market and this may just render the new product photographers like me pretty meaningless and force us to change paths :(

      It's not big, yet.
      It depends on the aspect ratio you pick. In this video we used 3:2 (1344x896 pixels) and then I double the size in Photoshop Enhance/super resolution to 2688x1792 pixels.

    Is it possible to create the image like you have and then just remove the bottle in midjourney or does that mess up the image?

    • @botvidsson
      @botvidsson  Год назад

      You can create an image without the bottle but I find it easier to have a reference. You can type (--no bottle) but I don't know how MJ would react when you give the prompt "bottle", probably better to just create a forest scene then. Yes I agree, the AI look is there, much better though in version 5 that just came out.

    That was kinda sad! I’m 65 and about to retire and go sailing after a 40 year career as a pro photographer. And as much as I’m excited by all the AI stuff happening everywhere all at once, as it seems. I felt like I was watching someone playing with the instrument of his demise.
    Midjourney is learning to crawl. The text instructions and editing and results ( although pretty damn impressive) are still primitive by comparison to what is literally a year or two away. This is all going exponential! AI will obliterate the industry as we currently know it, as it will many others. Sure there will still be some need for photographers, but why is a designer or agency going to bother hiring (and paying!) for one when they can tell the AI on their Mac what they want, then ask it to change this or that, from the comfort of their sofa. If I was just starting out I’d be thinking about a career change.

Warner Bros. Records, Inc., digital audio sampling ended as derivative works.
