Bringing Psychological Depth Through Model Photo Editing

Wiki Article

Before I started exploring the path of sexual and attractive photography, I thought that great Modeling photographs needed to have good poses, lighting, and angles. The more I explored the visual side of things, I found that it was possible to create photography of the model that went well beyond that.

With photography, I could also express a person's psychological state, whether they were calm, strong, vulnerable, or even struggling. I grew up as a small online model for my own business, and did not have the skills or the resources to produce high-quality modeling images that were full of deep emotion. At that point, I had no studio, no models, and no production team, only a camera, and a desire to produce realistic images. The turning point for me came when I discovered the VISBOOM AI Model-Generator. The Visboom system did not just create virtual models, it taught me how to manipulate the emotional and psychological aspects of photos, by creating what could be termed photo-psycho's; photos that expressed a person's true feelings, emotions, fears, joy, etc. I am sharing my experience on how I created emotional images using VISBOOM.

The modeling pictures I took, using either friends or photos that I downloaded for free, always seemed flat. While all of the modeling pictures that I created were decent, there were some that did not tell a story. They were not visually appealing, and there was no emotional depth to them that would attract viewers and make them want to look at them again. I wanted my photos to create a moment where people would stop, and experience an emotion after viewing them. At first, I thought it was impossible to produce an expression that conveyed the correct emotion for my models; they needed a certain level of professional modeling and production capability that I didn't possess. I brainstormed various ways to create models that were visually attractive and emotionally engaging, but that was when I discovered Visboom. I assumed it would only serve as another tool to create digital models. However, through extensive experimentation with the software, I learned about a whole world of possibilities the AI-based model generator allowed me to change factors like expression, lighting, perspective, and ambience to create a dramatic image that almost told a story about the character in my models. I could take on a range of emotions including, downcast eyes, blank facial expressions, and a vague, almost ethereal smile; this included physical body postures that defined a person's inner vulnerability and fragility. All these possibilities became available to me even though I was not a professional photographer. I was even more entrenched in my excitement about the freedom of expression as an artist; I was no longer limited by factors such as: daylight hours, a live model's mood change, or the excess cost associated with studio shoots. I felt as though I was guiding the development of my models. Building psychological depth through modeling is not complete once you have chosen a model and their individual physical attributes; this is where editing becomes the most crucial aspect of building the psychological experience.

I developed a workflow, beginning with an emotional narrative, to create my Visboom models. The first step is determining what my "inner story" is going to be. It can be about loneliness, strength, inner pain, self-confidence, etc. This "narrative" will be the basis for creating the models that I will ultimately generate to reflect the appropriate mood and feel of the model. Once I have established that I'll work on selecting the appropriate AI model generator based on what expression and lighting I need based on the narrative I have created.

Another very important part of the model creation process is the use of the eye expression. Using the eye as an entrance into one's psychological state is an important aspect of a successful model. I manipulate the eye colors as well as other visual cues (i.e. light and shadows) to develop the appropriate "atmosphere".

I also manipulate the colors I use to develop the appropriate "mood". For example, using dark blues gives a quiet and lonely feel, eerie dark greens create an air of mystery, faded yellow creates nostalgia, and muted red increases emotional tension.

The use of shadows and highlights is very much part of the light "play". Heavy shadows create an introspective feeling while softer highlights give the model a more fragile quality. The use of texture and grain creates a feeling of visual honesty. When I add a small degree of graininess to my images it gives it a more authentic feel like it came from a film camera, which further enhances the emotional aspects of my models.

All that being said, the photos I take of my models are not only aesthetically pleasing, but they are also able to tell a story that cannot be found in the way they look at you and through the expressions and lines of their faces. This change in the visual style is having a huge impact on my business; photos that have a lot of emotional richness are allowing my customers to spend more time on the product page, resulting in increased engagement and many customers saying things such as "Your photos have energy," or "It looks like there is a story there." A number of my fellow sellers began asking for digital modelling photos that had a psychological approach similar to the photos I was doing because they were saying that they look and feel like magazine editorials even though I was taking them myself from home with the use of artificial intelligence and editing software.

This has been a journey in learning for me as to what modelling photography is and what it is not. Modelling photography is not just about taking beautiful images of women, it is about conveying the soul and emotion of the person you are photographing through those images. With the assistance of Visboom's AI Model Generator, I now have the ability to create portraits that are not only beautiful, but also contain a great deal of depth. My editing of light, texture and other elements in photography has become my emotional language and I now consider myself to be a visual storyteller who conveys psychology, mood and emotion in my digital work.
