I used Exactly.AI to train a model on my photographic still life projects and environmental landscapes of plastic floating in the Gowanus Canal. All images were taken from my archives 2012-2023. The original still lifes were influenced by 17th Century Dutch still life painting and Victorian post-mortem photography. Those influences become more pronounced through the AI process. I do not use open source so I own the copyrights here.

"My fine art practice, influenced by surrealism, conceptual art and psychoanalysis is based on a lifelong respect and passion for photography. Now, I train AI models exclusively on my photographic archives to push the limits of pictorial plasticity while continuing my traditional digital photography practice simultaneously. I brought back a renewed sense of adventure to my 35mm digital photography. Nancy Oliveri, 1958, Providence, RI is an American photographer & recipient of numerous international exhibition awards, honors and features for her 20 photo books, still life & street photography.
