Berlin-based photographer [Sonia Teruel](https://soniateruel.net/) used Color Match, Adjust Palette and Color and Light curves to create “Far away but still too close," showing abandoned places during the coronavirus pandemic that were once part of daily life.

These places “remain invisible, outside our radar, although to see them we just need to look underneath or further. They are just concurred by outsiders, and this is how these places look up to the bridges and streets, where normal life is happening, like outside places. Walking through them feels like being far away though you can still see 'normal' life happening without noticing you, invisible. They hide under bridges, behind your way to the supermarket, to work, under highways...and remain silent but it seems like time talks through them," says Teruel.

[See how she used Facet’s](https://app.facet.ai/clone/qeqkCnJmRqC8Rj9cvMlfxw) intuitive Automasking and fun color grading in her explorative process.

See how [Hēran Soun](https://www.instagram.com/heransoun/) used Facet to correct color and contrast on a recent film projects.

Building on content-aware layers during post-processing, he ultimately created an evocative piece, called Save Our Stages, featuring music venue [First Avenue](https://first-avenue.com/) in Minneapolis, MN, which one of the many live arts closed during the 2020 coronavirus pandemic. First Avenue represents the quieted music venues across the world in cities being rebuilt, streets torn open, and buildings getting new faces.

Hēran Soun x Kirby Stenger captures the colors of a day in this new world with this analog photo, shot on a Pentax 35mm K1000, and refined with Facet. 

Hēran Soun is multifaceted—not only a photographer, he is also a musician and former Artist in Residence at [25th Street Recording](https://www.25thstreetrecording.com/) in Oakland, CA. Born deaf, he ultimately gained the ability to finally hear, an experience that created a “kind of obsession and a kind of ‘you don’t know what you got til it’s gon’ sense of awe,” he says. "It didn’t give me any kind of choice of direction in life other than to just focus on art. It was all engrossing to me."

Shooting musical icon FKA twigs was a sublime experience for Oakland-based artist Amina El Kabbany AKA [The Caffeinist](https://www.instagram.com/thecaffeinist/). “The hair all over my body stood up as I held my breath, mouth wide open in awe of the pure artistry FKA twigs brings forth to share with the world….she allowed herself to be a mirror for us all, to look into and examine the heartbreaks we share--how they unravel us as we are forced to find new ways to fill the gaping spaces that remain in our hearts,” says The Caffeinist.

To reimagine her own original photographs of FKA twigs, The Caffeinist turned to Facet’s Automasking and Background Replacement tools. It was effortless to select the image foreground and replace the background with her favorite travel images of a lush Hawaiian monstera plant and Mt. Shasta. “FKA twigs's expression in this image led me to want to create a juxtaposition with the natural world that would contrast her theatrical presence, making the notion that, even in our performance, we have derived so much from nature,” says The Caffeinist.

In these compositions, visual artist [Jo Fetto](http://www.jofetto.com) explored themes of decontextualisation. Once a subject is cut out of its environment: what is its relationship to that physical space, and what is that narrative? How do spaces keep or lose the passing of these subjects? Automasking in Facet helped Fetto explore these questions. [See how AI assisted with these cutouts.](https://app.facet.ai/clone/OOqVSv3sRMyL-N--tAiETg)

_About the artist:_
Jo Fetto is an Italian visual artist based in London. He approaches fashion as a tool to question gender and identity in our contemporaneity. In the blending lines of documentary and fiction, Jo Fetto’s imagery plays with reality and simulation with the aim to recall an emotional reaction from his audience. Targeting little and ethereal moments of intimacy, affection and eroticism, Jo Fetto opens up a window on his world,from his sexuality to his heritage, underling an everlasting sense of melancholy. From Naples with love xx

Parsons grad [Kevin Sikorski](https://www.escaperealife.com/) corrected color in Facet to match the real lighting conditions from his film shoot of [model Mario Adrion](https://instagram.com/marioadrion). The original film scans resulted in images that just didn’t “pop” the way Sikorski experienced the real-life setting to do. So, using Facet’s Automasking and Batch Editing, Sikorski simultaneously applied color corrections to all the images in the set for a consistent look.

Multi-talented artist [Gabriella Achadinha](https://gabriellaachadinha.com) created a vibrant “sci-fi” take on her photos of historical monuments in Yugoslavia. In her series “Journey to the Spomeniks,” Achandinha primarily utilized Facet’s Brush Tool for isolating different areas of foreground and background to create a multi-colored world; a sci-fi like, surrealistic new version of those places she visited. As you can see in her [pattern](https://app.facet.ai/clone/xnpeFoXwQYiLNZ6w_4A5dg), she used Color Adjustment and experimented with hues, temperatures, and saturation levels to create layers that spark, versus the original image. Automasking in Facet defined the architectural elements in the image against the sky background. Thus, she could easily isolate these elements and it saved time in her editing process. 

Creating “Journey to the Spomeniks” in Facet “was a journey of illuminating the past. Delving into what has been. This series aims to further highlight the forward-thinking innovation behind these architectural structures by creating a somewhat fantastical sci-fi world via vibrancy and palette,” she says.

“I'm a super perfectionist...but I’m too lazy to select all the shapes in Photoshop. And even then, it’s not always as perfect as I want. In Facet, selections are super easy. You can try a lot of options and decide, I want this or I want that. Being of this new generation, we want everything super fast and super perfect.” - [Laura Vifer](https://www.lauravifer.com/)

Do you vibe with Berlin-based director and photographer [Laura Vifer](https://www.lauravifer.com)? Then, you’ll agree that Facet’s Automasking not only makes editing slick and seamless, but also enables creative experimentation. Vifer had photos she felt ambivalent about until she tried on different edits in Facet: “Just by changing, in an easy way, the color of a wall or a floor—it changed my perspective of that picture and turned it into a great one!” she said. By following a dancer in the streets and parks of Berlin, Vifer captured the movement of the body in a colorful and magical atmosphere. Ultimately, in “Move with Magic,” Vifer composed her various images together in a string of trials until the series came together in Facet.

Experimenting in Facet led to this dramatic editorial spread shot and produced by [Roshan Whittaker](http://roshanwhittaker.co.uk). This was so good, it was [featured in Checkout Mag](https://checkoutmag.co.uk/fashion/roshan-whittaker-explores-social-pressures-and-conditioned-performance-in-the-devil-made-me-do-it). In this spread, Whittaker created compositions of portrait images against various backgrounds using Facet’s artboards and automasking. Whittaker found that compositing in Facet is seamless, simpler, making his post-process fun to experiment with, creating a series with a powerful message. In “The Devil Made Me Do It,” Whittaker reflects on the current social pressures of social media despite the chaos of recent global issues. “This series exposes the idea of the ‘DEVIL IN DISGUISE’--when something or someone that appears to be good, useful, or benevolent, in reality, proves to be the opposite.”

Post-processing can be so time consuming that some artists have evolved their style towards minimalism, to avoid it altogether. However, portraitist [Giorgi Meurmishvili](https://www.behance.net/giorgimeurmis) experienced the opposite when working in Facet, who found himself editing more than usual because of how quickly he was able to apply adjustments and push creative boundaries. 

This series is dedicated to women, particularly those in women in post-Soviet countries, whom the artist described as not having a voice in their families and in society—”24/7, 365 days, they are in ‘Isolation’ behind a man.” His message to them and those alike: “Don’t give up! Be strong, and break the wall!”

To achieve this contemporary angle in “Underground Look,” pro fashion photographer [Kat Puchowska](https://www.instagram.com/katpuchowska/) edited foregrounds and backgrounds generated from Facet’s content-aware automasks. She then tweaked colors using Facet’s curves and also adjusted for brightness and contrast. Using Facet daily has saved this pro photographer much time and effort, particularly when using the automask feature--a case for saying goodbye to the tedious lasso tool. This fashion shoot was taken at [Pitcher & Piano Bar](https://www.pitcherandpiano.com/bars/nottingham) and a carpark (AKA parking lot), in Nottingham UK, featuring model Corene who is wearing a Topshop top and bag, I AM GIA coat, Buffalo London shoes, and Levis trousers.

When skincare brand Smart Cookie approached Creative Director [Anna Dora Lascsik](https://www.instagram.com/annadoralascsik/) about a social media campaign, Lascsik knew the right AI-driven tool to make distinctive, branded visuals for online, social posts: Facet. Facet is a digital-first pro image editor designed for cases like these where brands--and their followers--are hungry for daily content that’s beautiful, impactful, and most of importantly, expresses the brand’s personality in a consistent way. For this series of beauty brand visuals for social media, Lascsik went beyond simple product and model imagery. She used photographs of people and images of the ingredients from the skincare creams, and then applied color manipulation layers with graphic words. “Generally it goes back to the idea of catching the essence of the brand, creating something that really touches the viewer,” Lascsik says. 

Lascsik on using Facet:
“Facet made it super easy and quick to separate objects and backgrounds. The job that could take hours ended up a one-click thing and so gave a better space to concentrate on the bigger picture, without getting lost in details. Although, I have fairly good retouching skills, it can be a life saver for more traditional art directors.” 

Besides directing and designing for Ogilvy, Maverick and Viceland, Lascsik has worked for luxury brands like Mulberry, L’Oreal, Estee Lauder, and Hugo Boss.

What would building concepts look like, when made of concrete versus wood, versus red marble? All this can be easily modeled in Facet’s AI-driven batch editing tool. Architecture graduate student, [Anna Nikaki](https://www.instagram.com/bluetraveltales/), experimented with various materials on three types of buildings, including a parametric music hall. These models helped to envision the possibilities for Nikaki. She first set a desired background, and applied her materials on to an automasked (thanks to Facet’s content-aware technology) layer of the building. Any edits she made were applied to that same object layer across multiple images--even though those object layers of the buildings were shown at different angles. That is how batch editing works in Facet. If you’ve got to see it to believe it, open up Nikaki’s pattern and you’ll see what we mean.

Photographer [Kenyatta Crisp](http://www.28karatblack.com) shot these creative portraits using 35mm film. In his Facet pattern for “Gabrielle,” you’ll see where and to what extent Crisp edits the light to bring out his subject’s features. His aesthetic involves bold contrast and strong details--an aspirational look you can try on for yourself too.

Gabrielle

[Serpentes](https://www.events-serpentes.com) relied on Facet’s intuitive automasking to make content-aware layers for selected brightening edits. To exalt the magical characters in the foreground, Lidjia and Yanez (the partners behind Serpentes) selected faces and skin tones in the arms to brighten for added dimension. Ultimately, “Gratitude” expresses this message from Serpentes: 
“Our archetypal characters break down the barrier that separates imaginary and real, spiritual energy from everyday life. They lead viewers on a journey to an infinite world of Creative Imagination. We believe that Beauty, Harmony and Love have a healing power.”

The series Gratitude, includes works titled The Goddess is Landing, Earth, Genesis, and Terra Nova. Check out their Facet pattern for Terra Nova.

Notable photographer [Kristina Varaksina](http://kristinavaraksina.com/) self-shot this in the south coast of England, using herself as a model due to social distancing precautions during the coronavirus pandemic. Varaksina wanted to create a surreal, otherworldly effect in “White Pebbles”. She ultimately achieved that in Facet with Adjust Palette edits to the background while enhancing skin tone with Facet’s Style Transfer and Curves features. Varaksina shares that **“**this project's aim is to explore a connection between inner self and outside world, a human body and nature. Sometimes your body is present in one place and your mind is somewhere far away on a distant planet, and this is how these two worlds can be expressed through a single image.” Get to know Varaksina from [our interview](https://blog.facet.ai/extending-the-artistic-brain-through-the-camera-lens/) with her.

_Note: The artist applied a Style Transfer to this pattern. The demo for this specific feature is currently only available to registered Facet users. So, create an account (it's free for your first week!) or sign in._

Pro fashion and portrait photographer [Makiyo Lio](http://www.makiyolio.com) draws inspiration from her subject: both her tattoos and her favorite color (blue) to create an empowering, honest and relatable space that allows the subject to express herself without constraint. Using Facet’s Color Match, Lio changed hues in the background and on the model, which ultimately gives the portraits intimate, dreamlike feels. These hues are applied via Facet’s AI technology, which takes its best guess at the desired hues based on what you pick as a “reference image,” which would be your color source. It applied these color matches to areas that Lio has defined using Facet’s Automask feature and brush tools. Additionally, Lio applied lighting adjustments using Curves, Saturation, Brightness & Contrast, Sharpen.

How to make an image you don’t actually have? Learn how pro retoucher Harwinder Singh seamlessly stitches three separate images together to create one standout visual. In “Plane manipulation,” Singh takes the power of Facet’s content-aware automasking to set a subject (and his “toy” plane) against a new sky. Then, applies a few adjustments to make everything cohesive.

Theatre designer and visual artist [Elodie Chiper](https://www.instagram.com/elodiechiperr/) relied on quick masking in Facet to make selections for deeply involved editing. Facet works the way she thinks: “When I start editing an image, I usually start by selecting in my head and decomposing the image in parts.” This is exactly the way Facet processes images too, which helped Chiper jumpstart her editing upon uploading her photos (scanned and developed from 35mm film used in her Pentax K1000). When selections and masking are this easy, she could put her energy and time towards creativity: check out the detailed adjustments for color, light, and levels behind [Chiper’s Sunday](http://app.facet.ai/clone/EAIkPKR-TcS-Pu2Mp1b_JQ).
