Would you want to train AI on your own face?
Use Case: I kind of have a new face. A little bit. Which means all the old photos is not how I look now. Solution_1: Book a photoshoot to get professional photos (would take at least 10h counting research, communication, make up, hair, traveling etc...) Solution_2: Take bunch of selfies with an Iphone and train a custom model, hunt for a good upscaler (I just started, spend yesterday 2h including training, prompt design, and finding an upscaler with potential) It's wild. And before you run saying photographers are out of job.. Photographers have an eye... they can prompt stuff like: "Shot with a Canon EOS 5D Mark IV, 85mm f/1.2 lens, at f/1.8, 1/125 sec, ISO 100." And they can take their real photoshoot photos, train a model, and boom - output whatever variation a person wants. Change outfits. Change makeup. Change expressions. I trained models when stable diffusion came out. All the way back to 2022. On Google Colab. hah Gosh, now it is so much more enjoyable. So, any artists, designers, photographers, marketers or... models in the community? Have you trained your custom model, and if yes how? I will share my workflow in the comments also, but what to hear your experience first. ❤️ p.s. fun fact, a lot of open source models have been trained on insane amount of "corn" so... as a female "character" I have to prompt it explicitly to dress me up :D you will see.. And mind you... what can I get out of it if I spend 10h?? 🤯
