Future Technology And Artificial Intelligence
Future technology and artificial intelligence are not only
fascinating, at least to me, but potentially a great stock image subject. Technology is penetrating ever more
deeply into every aspect of our lives…and “artificial intelligence” has a
potential impact that is mind-boggling. How can we photographers not want to
dive into that as a stock photo subject?
Human Brains And Computer Technology
The idea of linking a human brain to computer technology is
painfully obvious, but also a potentially good choice when trying to make an
image that will be a quick read to a wide audience of people. The question
becomes more of how we can “tweak” it to take it beyond the ordinary so that we
can both make it an interesting visual and a useful concept image.
Flesh And Metal
With this image I started by shooting a plastic replica of a
human brain, created a duplicate layer in Photoshop, and ran a “Chrome” filter
over it. It, as usual with the
Photoshop chrome filter didn’t look like chrome. I played with the different
“modes” until I came up with one that gave the brain a look vaguely like flesh
with a metallic sheen. It looked cool enough for me!
Circuit Boards And Magic Wands
Next I found a circuit board photo in my archives and used a
combination of “Color Range” and the “Magic Wand” photo to select just the
traces. I fined-tuned the selection with “Refine Edges”, copied the selection,
and pasted it behind the “brain” layers. Below that I created a layer of a
white/gray gradation. I used the Hue/Saturation control to darken the computer
traces to black. Finally, I pasted the selected computer circuit traces on the
top layer and positioned it to partially cover the brain.
High Tech, Bio Technology And Artificial Intelligence
The result is a high-tech and complex human brain bio-technology
image that illustrates artificial intelligence, brain research, and future
technology. It can be cropped to square vertical or horizontal…all in all, a
very promising stock image. One can never know for sure whether a given image
will sell well, or even sell at all. Time will tell on this one....
A Royalty Free Stock Photo
I have submitted the image to Blend Images as a royalty free stock photo. I am counting on the demand for artificial intelligence and future technology images to be large enough to compensate for the lower price points of royalty free imagery.
