Alright, so I got this itch the other day. Saw some old fashion show pics, you know? And Adriana Lima, she always stood out on the runway. Got me thinking, could I get one of these AI picture generators to whip up something similar? Sounded easy enough, right? Just type it in.
Getting Started
So, I fired up one of those image tools I’ve been messing with. Won’t bore you with the specific one, they’re all kinda the same headache anyway. My first thought was simple: ‘Adriana Lima on the runway’. Typed it in, hit go, and waited.
Well, that was a laugh. What came back was… interesting. Sometimes it looked vaguely like her, but stuck in some weird, blurry background. Other times, the face was just completely off, like some random person wearing an ‘Adriana Lima’ name tag. And the ‘runway’ part? Sometimes it was just a weirdly lit hallway or even outdoors. Total miss.
Trying to Fix It
Okay, plan A didn’t work. So, I started tweaking. I thought, maybe it needs more detail. I tried stuff like:
- ‘Adriana Lima walking a fashion show runway’
- ‘Photo of Adriana Lima on a catwalk, fashion show lighting’
- ‘Adriana Lima, famous model, on runway, designer clothes’
- ‘Full body shot, Adriana Lima, modeling on runway’
Added details about the clothes, the lighting, the specific event type (like ‘Victoria’s Secret fashion show’ for instance, just to see). It got a bit better. The backgrounds started looking more like actual runways sometimes, with the lights and the audience blur. The clothes got fancier, more like designer stuff.
But man, the faces. Getting a specific famous person’s face right with these things is still a gamble. Sometimes it was close! Like, really close. Then the next one would look like her cousin, twice removed. And the eyes… AI seems to have a real tough time with eyes sometimes, they’d look dead or just plain weird.
The Runway Vibe
The hardest part, honestly, was capturing that vibe. You know, the energy, the specific walk, the look she had. AI is good at making a picture of something, but getting the feeling right? That’s tricky. It often spat out generic model poses, not quite capturing that specific presence.
I spent a good chunk of the afternoon just hitting ‘generate’, changing a word here, adding a negative prompt there (like ‘no weird hands’, ‘no blurry background’). It’s kinda addictive, but also frustrating. You get one good element, like the outfit looks perfect, but the face is wrong. Or the face is spot on, but she’s standing in some bizarre location that looks nothing like a runway.
Where I Ended Up
So, did I get the perfect Adriana Lima runway shot? Nah, not really. I got some images that were pretty close. Some where you could squint and say, “Yeah, that’s supposed to be her.” The clothes sometimes looked cool, the runway setting was sometimes believable. But perfect? Nope.
It’s still kind of amazing what these things can do, don’t get me wrong. Creating a whole scene from just words. But it also showed me the limitations. It can mimic, but it doesn’t know her, or the energy of those shows. It’s just mashing pixels together based on data it’s seen.
Anyway, that was my little experiment. Wasted an afternoon, got a few kinda-cool, kinda-weird pictures. Maybe I’ll try again when the tech gets better. Or maybe I’ll just stick to looking at the real photos.
