project information
thanks for having an interest in the project. a little about me and the collaboration needed, on the part of the people who want to get involved, a small amount of info about the photography and the AI generations created from photo sessions, and finally, print, publication, artwork published on social media, and the web.
​
​
Hello, my name is rob, aged 60, and work under the guise of barefootmedia, I'm a photographer, and have been a photographer for the past 15 years, my interest in photography derives from way back, and my school days, since the age of 14. While my main interest is in black and white photography and giclée print. over the past year or so, i have gained an interest in AI generation, and to use as a tool, in the mix with photography, most of the images presented on this page are a combination of photography, generation and generation on its own, to experiment with, change and alter things that are not physically possible, through photography alone, and to create abstract, surreal artwork, with the intent of publication, printing on professional mediums, as in giclée fine art print, and other printing formats.
​
originally, the idea of creating digital artworks, using photography and AI generation, comes from the influence of other works, idea's from within, surreal, abstract and obscure, in principle, to create artwork using real people, in real locations, modifying and altering, embellishing the aesthetics of a scene, a background, its content, the textures and feel, the look of a photograph using a model, or participant involved, even adding elements to an image. other photographic modifications, as in, turning a photograph into an illustration, a pastel drawing, pencil and graphite, oil and watercolor, or a combination of many things, to create something new and interesting.
​
in order to do this, I'm looking for people who are interested in collaboration, to [model] for me, and to be involved in the project. for locations, its something that I am scouting for at present, with a few ideas best suited for the work ahead, but in general, it will only be local area's, or area's relatively close for the participant, and ease of access, within the Merseyside area, north west England.
​
for rates, unfortunately i cannot offer any rates, I am only looking for people who might be interested in taking part in the project, but of course, for your time and help, those involved will receive, a physical copy of the final selected print, that they have collaborated with.

all participants will receive a print, there are various options of paper types available, all giclée are archival art papers, Ilford Cotton Textured, Hahnemühle Bamboo, Hahnemühle Pearl, Hahnemühle Photorag, and Hahnemühle German Etching, each print will be sized at 12 by 16 inches, with a 4 inch border inclusive of size. please note that each digital artwork given, is print only, but sized at a standard size, for easy framing. for paper types, the person/model will be asked for preference of giclée.​​
​
all prints are printed from theprintspace, a photo lab based in London, a printing company that I have worked with for the past 5 years. postage is free for all people involved in the project.
publications, social media and the web.
as artwork created, comes to its completion, the finished artwork will become available for purchase to the public, it will also be advertised and posted on social media platforms. publication in book format has also crossed my mind, detailing a collective of the artwork created, if this idea comes to fruition, all participants, models, will be credited, along with credits for work advertised on social media, the web, or physical print.
