These people don't exist.

That's right, none of the people on the photos here exist. I was working on a client project this morning and needed some placeholder imagery for a brochureware website, in lieu of the actual team photos that will be shot over the coming weeks.

Searching for something with a representative look and feel via Adobe Stock, I happened upon this series of images that were prety close to how we envisage the corporate photoshoot going.

It's actually bananas how far AI imagery has come. The od character here looks a bit Madam Tusauds and some of the eye contact (or lack of) is a bit "off". That said, it's taking some serious spider senses to get past the fact that this isn't real, at all.

Enjoy the weirdness. I did!
