Context
As artificial intelligence continues to reshape industries, the modeling world is no exception. Platforms like AI Fashion offer models a novel opportunity: earning income from their AI-generated images in fashion campaigns. This shift allows models to participate in campaigns without the stress and time commitment of traditional photoshoots.
Key Update
Andrei Burak, a model turned producer, found modeling stressful due to long casting waits and frequent rejections. Now, he uploads photos to AI Fashion, which generates images of him for fashion campaigns, providing a passive income stream. AI Fashion stands out by keeping real models involved, allowing them to approve or deny campaign offers. This approach addresses concerns over AI completely replacing human models and helps brands avoid backlash, such as the criticism Levi Strauss faced for using virtual models to represent diversity. Models like Mikaela Kelley and Leticia Jacobson appreciate the passive income and the control they maintain over their digital likenesses.
