‘OESOPHAGUS LINE’
by Toby Norman & Thomas Gould.
We explored AI, and trained our own model.
Designed and directed by Toby Norman and Thomas Gould, led by surrealism and monochrome art movements and powered by Runway’s ML Gen 1 & 2.
However controversial and threatening for both our industries, it’s important to know its capabilities.
The creative model we built was not in control of the project, but strictly used as a stylised ‘tool’ (still requiring lead and hard work by humans) to being our own unique vision to life.
We too, wonder where this intelligence will take us.

‘Harrison Mayo – My Time’

2023 Releases: as a crew member.
Showcasing some of the 2023 releases of projects where I was a part the crew.

In front of a £20 million manor estate with a cigarette and a Stella Artois, is Jean Miller.
Jean Miller on Cigarettes and Beer.
Smoking at 11a.m on a Sunday morning is not unusual for many across the world, but opening a warm can of Stella Artois is questionable. For Jean, it is not alcoholism, it’s an appreciation for beer.
The simplistic use of the Leica D-Lux 7 captured these vivid portraits of Jean on new year’s day. Whilst there was no real objective to this body of work, it was a step into areas of documentary photography.
It should be said that these images have no affiliation with Stella Artois.

Olena Zelenska Foundation for Support of Ukraine
Introducing her foundation at London’s Saatchi Gallery nearing the end of 2022, was the First Lady of Ukraine, Olena Zelenska. The foundation’s aim covers the general support for the people of Ukraine, currently rebuilding hospitals and distributing vital medicines that have been lost due to the ongoing war in the country.
British artist, Marc Quinn, supported the cause by handing over his ‘Kyiv Madonna’, as a donation to the foundation.
On behalf of Marc Quinn and his team, myself, and good friend, Jamie Winslow, were given access to the event supported by Christie’s, and presented by The Economist’s chief editor, Zanny Minton Beddoes.
