Cover Story AI photoshoots

Magazine portraits made with camera tricks rather than retouching. Hard Copy uses direct flash, Flat Field a deadpan wide frame, Whiteout pushes the exposure until the background disappears, and Safelight is lit by a darkroom's red lamp.

Second Curtain freezes you at the end of a flash-lit blur, Same Speed pans at your walking pace, Old Glass swirls the background through a vintage lens, Partition shoots through glass and Blade cuts across you with a single slit of light. Each shoot comes with example frames, and haloshot makes five HD photos of you in the look.
