SUMMARY
A fashion photographer explored whether AI image generators could replace professional shoots by testing them against existing campaign images. Despite AI's ability to create visually plausible images, the photographer found significant limitations in consistency, accuracy of clothing details, and precise control over prompts. The AI often failed to replicate specific requests, introduced unwanted elements like tattoos, and altered clothing designs, indicating it currently falls short for the demands of commercial fashion photography.
TAKEAWAYS
AI image generators were tested by a fashion photographer for their ability to replicate campaign work.
AI struggled with consistency, often failing to maintain specific details like clothing appearance and model features across revisions.
The AI frequently produced results that deviated from the photographer's precise prompts, making it unreliable for commercial accuracy.
While AI can generate single images, its limitations in control and consistency make it currently unsuitable for professional fashion photography needs.
