AI photo shoot in New York: an urban series that tells a story

A New York atmosphere can be built by the density of the street, the facades, the vertical lines and the energy of the setting. The most useful thing is to choose a way to cross the city rather than a list of places to accumulate.

Set the beat of the street

A frontal composition gives a different presence than a walking scene or a sideways look. Choose the degree of movement that serves your set. The clothing, posture and density of the background must support this rhythm without making the image illegible.

Bringing portrait and architecture into dialogue

A wide view establishes the city; a tighter portrait brings the character closer. Keep colors or a family of light to connect the two. Facades must maintain comprehensible perspectives, especially when passing close to the head or shoulders.

Select details that remain credible

Signs, markings and vehicles can reveal inconsistencies in an AI creation. Look at them before posting, even if they are secondary. A less busy setting can be more convincing than a spectacular scene that multiplies the elements that are difficult to read.

AN EXAMPLE TO MOVE FORWARD

Putting this idea into practice

Compose an urban ensemble with a background shot, a moving silhouette and two closer portraits. The sportswear image illustrates a direction of attitude; the available decors can be discovered in the overviews of the New York collection.

Before choosing your images

  • Give a rhythm to the series.
  • Alternate city and presence of the character.
  • Inspect the texts and objects in the background.

To prepare your series, also consult how the studio works and packages and their total amounts.
