Future Boys โ Editorial Fashion Photography & Digital Compositing (Pre-AI)
Future Boys is a fashion editorial exploring the idea of identity, change, and future-facing styleโcreated through a combination of studio photography, on-location shooting, and digital compositing techniques developed well before the rise of AI-generated imagery.
The series was photographed across multiple environments, including studio setups, rooftop sessions, and streets throughout New York City. Background elements were captured separately and later composited to build layered, cinematic scenes that extend beyond traditional fashion photography.
This process reflects an earlier approach to image-making, where the final visual was constructed through planning, lighting, and post-production rather than generative tools. Each image was intentionally built to create a sense of narrative and atmosphere while maintaining the integrity of the original photography.
Originally created as an editorial for The Future Is Now, the project brings together fashion, storytelling, and digital craftโhighlighting how compositing techniques can be used to shape a visual world around the subject.
