How are generated photos made?
We have built a proprietary dataset by taking tens of thousands of images of people in our studio. These photos are taken in a controlled environment allowing us to make sure that each face has consistent look and quality. After shooting, photos are tagged, categorized, and added to a dataset that is used for machine learning training. In an on-going fashion we feed this dataset into generative adversarial networks to produce faces that have never existed. Further machine learning processes take place after the faces are created in order to identify and remove flawed faces. The final results are made available through our website or API integration.
‘I’m concerned {…} people aren’t represented well enough’
We fully agree and are actively working on this! Our goal is to represent every person regardless of age, sex, ethnicity, or physical characteristics. The reality of generating consistent content with AI is that training data needs to be available for our systems to learn from. This requires sourcing a large number of models and takes time. After running a studio for the last 2 years, we have learned it can be difficult to find diverse models with unique features that are also willing to shoot stock photography. This is not a challenge will are backing down from. We ask for your patience and understanding as we continue to expand our capabilities. We are fascinated by the range of personalities we have captured so far and will continue to expand this going forward.

Verification of authenticity
We understand there are concerns about how products created by AI may be misused. Generated Photos will not produce documentary photography or video. We believe news footage, family photos, photos from crime scenes, or other protected use cases must be kept strictly documental. Generative media must be kept independent from documentary media. We are encouraged to see that multiple companies are currently building technology that certifies authenticity — a rubber stamp analog for the 21st century.
