I create commercial-grade visual content for brands – from product photography and high-conversion ad creatives to website banners and full fashion campaigns. My approach combines precision AI generation with expert Photoshop compositing to deliver polished, production-ready assets. For brands that need many consistent variations at scale, I also build the reusable AI prompt systems behind them – not just single images, but a design system you can reuse. ✨ What I can create for you: – Commercial AI Product Photography: high-fidelity imagery for e-commerce, beauty tech, cosmetics, and fragrance (maintaining strict label and geometry accuracy). – High-Conversion Digital Assets: Meta ad creatives, CTR-optimized YouTube thumbnails, and large-format print preparation. – Website & Brand Visuals: hero banners, landing page imagery, and realistic AI composites preserving real human likeness, fully assembled in Figma. – AI Brand & Fashion Campaigns: character-consistent AI models, campaign stills, and AI cinematic video. – Fine Art & Conceptual Collages: gallery-ready print collections and symbolic visual storytelling, print-prepped for large-format (300 DPI, CMYK). – Scalable AI Prompt Systems: for brands needing many consistent, on-brand variations – flavor swaps, new SKUs, style-DNA extraction from references. 🛠️ My Technical Skills include: – AI Image & Video Generation: Midjourney, Nano Banana Pro/2, ChatGPT Image, Reve, Seedream, Leonardo AI, Kling, Seedance. – Post-Production: advanced Photoshop compositing, precise masking, non-destructive editing, portrait retouching, and AI artifact removal. – Design & Layout: Figma, typography integration, cinematic color grading, print prep (300 DPI, CMYK). – Workflow Architecture: Weavy.AI, Higgsfield, system prompt engineering, node-based design pipelines. 🌱 What sets me apart: I don't just generate images – I build the underlying systems. For example, I recently spent four months engineering a multi-scenario AI prompt system for a packaging app (flavor swaps, category transfers, style-DNA extraction). The same logic applies to any brand needing consistent variations at scale. I use Midjourney to establish premium lighting, Nano Banana Pro/2 to maintain strict identity, and Adobe Photoshop for the final, flawless gallery-level finish. 💬 Send your references or brief and I'll tell you which approach fits – a single AI-generated image, or a reusable prompt system built for scale.
