Hey, creators. Need photo content? I know how hard it is to find an image for your specific purpose.
Stock photos look too generic, and a photo shoot is an even bigger pain in the ass. Casting, location scouting, retouching, etc. Oh and repeat this every time you want to change something.
I thought, why not to mix the models, objects, and backgrounds into a single picture.
Capturing 1k models, 1k objects, and 1k backgrounds will give us 1b combinations (instead of 4m for Shutterstock).
So, we started our own studio. Last summer, I learned studio photography; we hired a crew of 10 people, from MUA to 3D, and started working. We published our experiments in this Moose Photos category https://photos.icons8.com/catego...
Still, our photos were pre-fabricated. They felt generic; they didn’t tell your specific story. Sure, you can download the images, remove backgrounds with something like Remask (dirty AI tools are not precise enough), and compose them in Photoshop, but it’s painfully slow. Even our photoshop pros failed to produce more than 15 pictures a week.
So, we masked the images and built a web tool for making composing quick. We call it Photo Creator (in contrast to a photo editor).
Customizing the images is super easy. Combine models into teams or couples, change emotions, and of course–add cats. Remember that “now kiss” https://imgur.com/gallery/6bLWiqL guy? That could be you.
Play with it, it’s fun. Make 10 images in 10 minutes, from office portraits to some absurd scenes with flying cats and sugar rush kids.
Post your pictures here. We’ll give 3 paid Icons8 accounts for the images that are either
1) fun,
2) beautiful or
3) realistic.
These accounts give you export to PSD (best feature, according to @tylerlastovich ) and all our icons, photos, and music.
Great job! Neat intuitive interface, wide range of objects. Literally takes a few minutes to create a pic. Love it :) With some extra functionality it’s gonna rock! 🚀 https://imgur.com/a/4xuvgqt
I've been using Moose photos for almost a year and that's a cool source of photo content, especially diverse shots of beautiful people. Now, ability to compose them by myself makes it top!
Pros:
I can create funny photos for blog articles and social media even without being a professional designer. For free!
I don't have any needs in creating collages so far. But the app itself is entertaining to use. The process of collaging is addictive as hell! You should try it with caution :)))
PS: I hope there will more objects in the library in time.
@kirill_kazachek glad to hear that. We hoped it has a gameplay.
We keep shooting! Normally twice a week. Request/vote for shoots here http://request.icons8.com/
And you'll be able to add your photos; it's surprisingly hard however. First, we have to trace the images. Second, to map them to the lighting of the scene. Think AI with ^4 complexity applied to huge 20-40 megapixel photos.
This product is absolutely amazing. By and far one of my favorite things I have saw on this site in a long time. I really hope you keep a good chunk of this free forever for people to use, because it truly is so much fun to play with.
I have been dying to find some photos of people on various colored backgrounds and now I can create them with ease! It's so wonderful! I will use it all the time!
Meantime, we're watching your artworks. Here is how it looks on our side:
We'll feature your artworks as templates. And if you post them here in the comments, there's a contest with free Icons8 licenses (see my other post here).
