Michael Mehl : AI Images

I have always found interesting the correlation of text to image. Having worked in advertising and experimented with digital art forms for decades, said correlation has always been integral to my work. Consequently, the possibilities offered by Generative AI to prompt images from narrative descriptions, are, not a substitute for any of my crafts, but a legitimate opportunity for further exploration.

Primate See Primate Do
FOTOSEPTIEMBRE 2024  Monograph
Primate See Primate Do is a series I created specifically for FOTOSEPTIEMBRE 2024. The images are self-explanatory: primates are copycats. We can’t help it. We salivate when we see the shiny new toys acquired, and activities engaged, by friends, neighbors, and more significantly, by so-called influencers. Me wants it too! Gimme Now!

El Lechón AI Portrait Series 
AI Image Prompts by Michael Mehl : 2023
A recent invitation to gather a diverse group of friends for a Cuban Lechón (roasted piglet) dinner, seemed a fine occasion to create a series of AI portraits of the individuals that would be attending the dinner (and a few quadrupeds, lechón included). The prompts for each portrait were specific to each individual’s personality, main or favorite activity, and general physical appearance.
