AI & Kids Fashion: Can Technology Replace Traditional Model Photography?

A preloved retailer recently explained they’re testing AI to transform simple product shots into model images – saving time and cost on flat lay photography. It could be a game changer for fast stock turnaround. So we decided to have a quick tryout for ourselves.

A simple Google search produces a tonne of Ai options promising to transform your product shots into a ‘realistic’ AI child to model your pieces.

The results vary enormously from pretty good to quite disturbing :) It’s clear though to get good results you’ll need to spend some money and some quality time getting to know the settings.

Even a brief glimpse into this subject reveals there are significant issues to be considered in the use of ai generated images of children. Whilst men & women fashion press ahead with adopting the technology it’s clear that it’s use in kids fashion is more complicated…
