Overview
This project is a homage to the iconic style of Daido Moriyama, reinterpreted through the lens of AI-generated imagery and enhanced by digital design manipulation. It embodies the essence of motion and raw energy, juxtaposed with the profound stillness of monochromatic artistry.
Process
By employing Midjourney AI, we initiated a dialogue with the machine to produce a base image that channels the spirit of Moriyama's work. The process was iterative, fine-tuning prompts to reach the desired aesthetic. Subsequent refinement through Photoshop leveraged the capabilities of modern design software, infusing the piece with a contemporary edge while preserving the emotive power of traditional photography.
Outcome
The project stands as a testament to the evolving art of photography, where the boundaries between man-made and machine-generated art blur. It honors Moriyama's legacy while showcasing the potential of AI as a creative partner in the digital age, offering a new perspective on the timeless theme of movement within stillness.
