The “Mixture of Experts” series by Duncan Rawlinson is a thoughtful venture into the space where traditional photography intersects with emerging artificial intelligence imaging. Each image is a humble exploration of how machine learning can reflect the subtleties of human expression. The collection, developed through the collaboration of multiple AI processes, offers a simple yet profound look at the shared human experience. Here, the focus is on the quiet contribution of AI to the craft of photography, resulting in a collection that invites reflection and appreciation for the understated beauty of our diverse humanity.
This synthetic portrait blends contemporary AI with traditional photography to capture the confident and assertive essence of the “Yes Chad” meme. The subject’s profile is marked by a striking contrast between the sharp, platinum contours of his hair and the warm, earthy tones of his full beard. His gaze is directed off-camera, exuding an air of contemplation and self-assuredness. The image harmonizes the tactile realism of human features with the polished, almost hyperreal quality characteristic of digital artistry, resulting in a piece that feels both cutting-edge and intimately human.
