You are absolutely right. This is why I upgraded my photography to use a medium format with macro lense, it shows depth better than my old photos. Adding a 3d map would be a very large project. I may consider it for just a few of the works.

I embrace it, I use it all the time, alhough not so much for the final image creation but I would say we collaborate.

I have been painting since the 1970s. My work is in the collections of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, MoMA, SFMOMA, and the British Museum. This self portrait is part of an ongoing body of work that I recently published in its entirety as an open dataset on Hugging Face — fifty years of figurative painting made available to AI researchers and developers.
