Substack – Adam Rindy

SUBSTACK

December 12, 2025

This feels like a full-circle moment.

           I started putting work on the internet back when it was quieter — before apps, before feeds, before everything became optimized for attention. In the early days of Blogger and Flickr, sharing work felt slower and more deliberate. You published something, people found it, and that was enough.

           Then came the long stretch of social platforms. Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, TikTok, etc. All promising connection, reach, relevance. I’ve been on them, adapted to them, updated handles, rewritten bios, chased formats, and watched the rules change in real time. At some point, the work itself started competing with the systems built around it.

           Substack feels like stepping slightly off that treadmill. Not as a rejection of social media — I’m still there, probably in more places than I care to admit — but as a return to something more grounded. A space where images can exist with context, ideas can unfold, and process doesn’t need to be flattened into a caption.

           This publication is a studio journal. A place for work in progress, finished projects, experiments, and the thinking behind them. From photography and visual storytelling to the evolving role of tools, technology, and taste. Less about certainty, more about curiosity.

           If you’re here, thanks for slowing down with me.

AI Photography – Adam Rindy

Ai PHOTOGRAPHY

Redefining Image Making in the Age of Artificial Intelligence

DISCLAIMER
 
As a working photographer, I will always advocate for practical, real world image making. My foundation remains rooted in craft, intention, and physically creating photographs.

This post is part of an AI focused pitch I was asked to develop. While my personal views on how AI is currently being used for  brand imagery don’t always align with the outcomes presented here, I believe it’s important to stay fluent in the tools shaping our industry.

Understanding how these technologies function, where they succeed and where they fall short,  is part of being a contemporary image maker. This is more about awareness, not replacement. 
Aside from the work presented in this post, all other imagery referenced or shown on this entire website was created without the use of AI.


         This post breaks down how I approach AI-assisted image making using principles rooted in traditional photography and retouching — with an emphasis on realistic lighting, skin texture, proportion, and emotion.        



THE WHAT

      The creation of authentic AI driven characters that can be utilized across a controlled library of beauty, fashion, and product imagery.      Each character model is crafted using principles rooted in traditional photography and retouching, with an emphasis on realistic lighting,      skin texture, proportion, and emotion. This approach allows brands to visualize ideas, explore creative directions, and build campaign ready visuals      without traditional production constraints.    


THE WHY

      AI allows brands to explore ideas at a pace that aligns with real time creative demands. When combined with principles from traditional photography,      the resulting imagery feels grounded, believable, and intentionally crafted. This approach offers a versatile way to build characters, test campaign      concepts, visualize products, and maintain visual consistency. The goal is not replacement, but expansion: introducing tools that support clearer,      faster, and more expressive storytelling.    


THE HOW




CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT

   
Designing authentic, believable faces built for real brand storytelling.

      The characters shown here are unique individuals created from scratch, crafted with intention, personality, and human detail. Each one can be tailored      to reflect specific brand demographics, aesthetics, or campaign needs. Because these models are not based on real people, they offer full creative freedom      while still feeling grounded, expressive, and emotionally resonant.    

      Every character is shaped using the same principles I apply in photography: realistic lighting, skin texture, proportion, and nuance. This ensures they avoid      the “AI look” and instead embody a style that feels clean, contemporary, and true to life. These characters are designed to be re-usable across future campaigns,      providing consistency, flexibility, and a visual identity you can build on.    




CHARACTER CONSISTENCY + DATASETS


Ensuring a model’s identity stays true across every image and scenario.

      These examples demonstrate how a single AI character can stay visually consistent across different poses, lighting setups, and scenarios. By combining controlled      identity workflows with real world photographic knowledge, each model remains recognizable and true to form. This allows brands to build campaigns around characters      who feel stable, believable, and adaptable across any creative direction.    




DATASETS

      Training datasets allow a character’s identity to remain consistent across poses, expressions, and scenarios. By building a curated set of images that share lighting,      angles, and styling, a character LoRA can learn the features that define a model’s face. This process ensures that expression changes, product interactions, and creative      variations still preserve the character’s likeness.    




EXAMPLES



CONCLUSION

      These examples demonstrate how character driven AI workflows support consistency, realism, and creative exploration. Whether the focus is product visualization,      beauty storytelling, fashion concepts, or entirely new campaign ideas, the same practices can be applied across any style or category. This approach gives brands a      scalable, adaptable way to build imagery that fits their unique identity.    

      These characters, workflows, and visual systems are only a foundation. Together, we can shape imagery that feels intentional, expressive, and entirely your own.    

      Let’s create what’s next!
