Not deceptive
stunning, illustrative AI portraits without pretending to be real photos.
Some promise perfect, hyper-real versions of you.
Others promise an AI clone that runs your business
while you're off drinking cocktails in the South of France.
And if you're being honest...something about it feels wrong.
Without pretending to be you.
Because this isn't about looking your best.
It’s about being clear when an image is interpretation.
Not a photograph.
Not a compromise.
You’re not behind.
And you’re not doing it wrong.
You just want images that aren't trying to pass as something you're not.
Options that feel expressive, not misleading.
You want AI that interprets rather than impersonates.

I love beauty and visual storytelling, but as a journalist,
I also care deeply about facts and representation.
When I started experimenting with AI selfies,
the images were striking, but something felt off.
It felt too easy to choose an idealized version of myself
that didn’t fully reflect how I actually look.
And that’s when it clicked.
Illustrative portraits aren’t meant to document reality.
They’re meant to express how you see yourself.
Not convince anyone this is exactly how you look today.
So I decided to take a different approach.
One rooted in illustration, not imitation.
