It's been quite a while since I last posted here, so I thought I'd share a few images from my latest AI wetlook project.
As many of you know from my old real-life WAM photography work, wet hair has always been my favorite aspect of the genre. For me, it's all about the transformation: seeing perfectly styled, voluminous hair slowly change into a glossy, shiny, soaked look. Every hairstyle reacts differently, and capturing those textures convincingly has always fascinated me.
One thing that has amazed me over the last couple of years is how much AI has improved. It went from producing obviously fake-looking wet hair to creating images where the shine, strand definition, and overall texture can look remarkably convincing. My eye still spots plenty of room for improvement, but the progress has been incredible.
Videos are a different story. While AI can generate great still images relatively well now, making hair behave naturally over time--getting the movement, water interaction, and consistency right--is still one of the biggest challenges. But with every new generation of tools, it gets a little better, and that's what keeps me experimenting.
I've attached a few images below from my latest Drenched in Style collections. If you're interested in seeing where this journey is heading, I've also started sharing exclusive wetlook collections, videos, and behind-the-scenes experiments on my Patreon.
I'd love to hear what you think--and I'm curious whether anyone else here has been experimenting with AI to recreate the kinds of wet hair transformations we've enjoyed for years.
Love you, too
