Portrait Extreme (Ultra HD)

Borrows from horror cinema: stitches, extra eyes, removable skin. Example: Joel-Peter Witkin’s photographs featuring cadavers, intersex individuals, or carnival “freaks.”

The future of Portrait Extreme lies in Neural Radiance Fields (NeRFs) . NeRF technology allows for the synthesis of novel views of a face from sparse images. This could potentially allow a photographer to take a standard portrait and computationally render an "extreme close-up" from any angle in 3D space, with accurate lighting and depth of field, without ever needing a macro lens. portrait extreme
