Where Does It Hurt?
Where Does It Hurt?
Helping readers recognize themselves in a story begins with seeing themselves in the imagery. Using Adobe Generative AI and carefully selected stock photography, I reshaped a series of images to better reflect the executive audience while reinforcing the emotional tone of the article.
Goals Accomplished:
•Adapted stock photography to better represent executive-level professionals.
•Shifted perceived age and career level without sacrificing authenticity.
•Reinforced the emotional tone of the article through expression and body language.
•Improved demographic alignment while avoiding the cost of a custom photoshoot.
•Used AI editing as a creative problem-solving tool rather than a visual effect.
•Delivered publication-ready imagery that felt purpose-built instead of stock.
