High-Resolution AI Image Stylisation

A high-resolution visual study developed for a proposed shopping development in the historic centre of Oxford.

Starting from a real aerial photograph, the challenge was to create a distinctive visual treatment that respected Oxford's architectural character while communicating sensitivity to its historic urban context.

I led the creative direction and developed a hybrid workflow combining early generative AI techniques with traditional post-production. Working at exceptionally high resolution, I refined the image in sections while maintaining visual consistency and the realism of the original photograph.

The resulting imagery became part of a wider public-facing conversation about the development, appearing in presentations at universities and local authorities, as well as in newspapers and magazines.
