In this episode, we explore the world of AI-generated imagery with the incredibly creative Salma Aboukar, founder of CREATE. Salma shares her journey from e-commerce to becoming a pioneer in AI-driven creative production, revealing how she harnesses tools like MidJourney, Stable Diffusion, and GPT to transform product photography.
It’s a very practical episode for everyone who is looking to use AI to make images for their products, services, and sites. Salma walks us through how these tools can accelerate content creation, elevate brand storytelling, and open new creative possibilities—all without the traditional costs or time constraints of studio shoots.
Key Takeaways:
- Start with a conversation: Engage with GPT conversationally to generate initial ideas and refine your vision for the perfect product image.
- Leverage MidJourney for aesthetics: While GPT is great for ideation, MidJourney excels at capturing artistic elements like lighting, reflection, and refraction.
- Upscale for photorealism: Use upscalers like Crea or Magnific to add details and make images look photorealistic, especially when working with GPT-generated images.
- Experiment with styles: While focusing on photorealism for work, don't be afraid to explore different styles like anime or niche aesthetics for personal projects.
