HYBRID PRODUCTION / PHOTOGRAPHY + AI
From plain-screen capture to social-ready worlds




PROJECT CONTEXT
I developed a hybrid product-image workflow designed to turn a simple studio capture into a broader library of social-ready product visuals. The product was photographed against a plain screen so I could begin with a clean, reliable reference while keeping the packaging, proportions and materials grounded in a real object.
TOOLS USED
Controlled studio photography; retouching; ComfyUI-based image workflows; multiple generative image models for image-to-image exploration; Magnific for detail enhancement and final-resolution output.
APPROACH
I first created clean base photographs with neutral lighting and minimal background information. I then used the product captures as structural references across several AI image models, testing different ways to build settings, props, lighting and mood around the original pack shot. I compared each model for product fidelity, realism and art-direction control, then refined the strongest outputs through targeted iterations and finishing. The aim was not to replace photography, but to combine the accuracy of a real shoot with the speed and creative range of generative production.
OUTCOME
The workflow produced a flexible series of styled product images from a small set of controlled source photographs. It demonstrates how I can extend one shoot into multiple content directions for social media while maintaining a recognisable product. The images shown pair the plain-screen captures with the finished AI-assisted scenes.
