The photo studio currently only leaves offline photos of some special scenes. Hippocampus and Naive Lan for commercial photoshoots earn 1 billion a year; Pannvfang for costume portraits makes 1 billion a year. Players in the wedding photo market are relatively scattered, with a market size of 60 billion.

With the advancement of lora life-sized models, these remaining traditional offline photo markets will also undergo tremendous changes.

The popularity of smart phones has lowered the threshold for taking pictures.

The popularity of beauty has lowered the threshold of smug beauty.

This is the second revolution of photography, and it is about to usher in the third revolution:

The popularity of the lora model has lowered the threshold for making up and posing for photos.

The title picture is the effect generated by the lora model, let's look at another one:

These offline photo services mainly include makeup, clothing, and film production (real object) services. Compared with these offline photo services, lora's real-life large models, except for physical film production, make-up and clothing are really instant kills.

The improvement in efficiency is at least 10 times, and there is no need to suffer, especially for wedding photography, including travel photography. The effect is at least 10 times better. Provide about 20 photos from different angles to train a lora model for yourself, which can generate arbitrary clothing styles, backgrounds, poses, expressions, and style portraits. You can shoot whatever you want. Don’t make an appointment, you can generate it at any time at any time, and you can choose the resolution at will. The key is that the negatives are all yours, and you can send them to Moments without adding money. The cost is at least 10 times lower, starting from 3,000 for a set of photos in Panziwomenfang.

In fact, wedding photos, commercial photos, and costume photos all have a sense of ritual in Moments. The wedding photography process itself has a sense of ritual, but it can be ignored.

The Miaoya camera, which has been very popular in recent days, is the commercial photo of the lora model. Although the 191 ratings of the mini program are only 2.6 points, 5 stars and 1 star are basically half and half (as of the time of posting), but the experience should be available soon. If it does not, another one will come up.

For cost and effect considerations, photo digital human generation requires 20 photos from different angles. It is relatively simple for girls, but it may be somewhat difficult for male compatriots. With the development of model technology, the requirements for the number of photos for models will also be reduced. It is expected that applications that can generate photo digital humans from one photo will become popular faster because the threshold for user participation is lower.

Photo digital people will be good for digital people like D-ID Talking Photo, because I am more satisfied with the photos I provide to generate Talking Photo. Of course, it does not rule out photo digital people who can make Talking Photo by themselves.

The video digital human basically needs to provide a 2-5 minute video, and the more natural the video is, the better the generated video digital human will be. In fact, the threshold for the naturalness of this video is quite high. Eyes, expressions, and movements all need to be natural. For the convenience of digital people, a group member of the AIhackathon shaved their heads, and I also went to have a haircut and applied hairspray that I never wear. The threshold for live broadcast digital human beings is even higher. Basically, 20-30 minutes of video is required.

From the point of view of the threshold of use, the threshold of photo digital person, Talking Photo, video digital person, and live broadcast digital person increases in turn.

What other photo services are to be changed, children? pet? ...
