About Franck

Looking for someone who masters generative AI and knows what a good image is?
Photographer and art director for over 20 years, I dove into generative AI in late 2022, when it was still a geeky thing on Discord. Not to copy photography, but to explore post-photography. I tried to extract an art form from it before thinking commercially.

What I bring you:
A 360° vision that combines 20 years of creative craft with mastery of the least accessible AI tools. I don't generate images randomly; I design tailor-made workflows, train custom models, and create meaningful visuals.

What I manage:
Creation of original characters and narrative universes
Production of visual content (image and video) via generative AI
Development of optimized creative workflows
Art direction of projects integrating AI and traditional approaches
Fine-tuning of products and training of custom models
My difference?
I arrived early, experimented intensely, and continue to explore. You won't get someone who applies recipes, but someone who understands your creative challenges and knows how to use AI as a true creative tool.
Let's talk about your project.

    ARTS AND CRAFTS
    December 2022 - Today (3 years and 8 months)
    Paris, France
    Photographer in Paris with twenty years of expertise and an art director background, I question the real-fiction boundary through photography and digital art. Generative Artificial Intelligence naturally extends this quest for dialogue between the tangible and the imaginary. I put this vision at the service of magazines, agencies, and specialized publications, mainly in architecture, interior design, portraiture, and lifestyle reporting.

    Specialist in prompt design and creative process optimization, I create original AI images that combine technological innovation and artistic sense. I work on the entire pipeline, from generation to high-resolution upscaling, using a hybrid approach combining open-source and closed solutions, tailored to the specific needs of each project.
    With experience in training AI models from proprietary datasets from photography, AI art, and digital painting, I develop unique styles, objects, and characters that create value and are certified.
    Committed to an ethical approach, I guarantee respect for copyright while constantly exploring new creative avenues.
    Open to collaborating on innovative and tailor-made projects.
