My final project is centered around the art of portrait photography, with a meticulous focus on form, composition, and color. Rooted in the theme of ‘Retrospective Futurism,’ the project seeks to evoke a harmonious blend of futuristic elements intertwined with a nostalgic yearning for the past. The images achieve an equilibrium between elegance and radicalism, crafted through collaboration in prop design, costume selection, photography staging, model coordination, and lighting considerations. Notably, cutting-edge AI technology is integrated to generate backgrounds, adding an innovative dimension to the artistic process.

The focus of project is the intentional juxtaposition and collage of subject matter. Traditional elements such as kites, red ropes, and costumes, combined with reflective film and abstract geometric shapes, give rise to a distinctive visual narrative. This fusion enriches the storytelling, creating a narrative that transcends temporal and cultural boundaries.

Moreover, this project aspires to pioneer a new workflow, pushing beyond the limits of conventional photography to explore vast possibilities within the realm, embracing the new emerging technology. I derive immense satisfaction from the process of “making” images, diligently studying lighting to blend with the AI-generated environment. Additionally, the process of preparation for props, thoughtful consideration of costumes, and collaboration with models provide valuable insights into the realm of commercial portrait photography—an area I am enthusiastic about exploring and pursuing further.
