I see the appeal of ultra-realistic face swaps, they're quick, affordable, and can make some stunning images. But I can't help but feel like something’s lost when you swap out the human element. There's just something about a real photoshoot that can't be fully captured by tech, whether it's the vibe between the photographer and the subject or the natural imperfections that make a shot feel authentic. Sure, face swaps might work for quick content, but I still think there’s a place for real photoshoots where the magic happens

@tonyabracadabra beautifully said, but I think this might be a generational difference. I doubt Gen Z or Gen Alpha would feel the same, as they’re already creating that sense of “magic” online with their friends.

Congrats on the launch of VOVO! this looks so amazing :)

Can we apply face swaps or AI personas directly on Instagram Stories or Reels? 🤔

Felix Sattler · Answer

It depends on the use case! Real photoshoots capture genuine moments and emotions, which can be irreplaceable for personal branding or certain campaigns. However, ultra-realistic face swaps, powered by AI, are a game-changer for creating versatile content quickly and cost-effectively.

For instance, if you need diverse visuals for marketing or product demos, AI-generated images can save time and resources. But when authenticity is key, nothing beats the real thing.

Annie Engelhardth · Answer

As a small business owner, the cost savings alone make this idea appealing. If the results are truly ultra-realistic, I'd definitely consider using it for product promotions.

Poll Coll · Answer

I'd love to try this for fun, but when it comes to professional projects, I'd still lean towardss real photoshoots. There's just something special about working with a live setup.

Jonathan Monroe · Answer

Ultra-realistic face swaps sounds cool but can they truly capture the vibe of a real shoot.

Tumblar Kevin · Answer

I'd be curious about how this tech handles diverse lightning and natural elements.

Alira Kamb · Answer

Using both makes sense.

Moaz Ahmad · Answer

Although ultra realistic face swap is great but it isn't at the level yet to be compared with Real Photoshoots as most international brands would still prefer it. And as face swapping is improving, so does image editing tools for real photoshoots.

Emma Rac · Answer

For my ads, I'd totally go for face swaps they're fast and affordable. But for branding, I still prefer real photoshoots.

Nick Willstrop · Answer

As someone who's coordinated plenty of photoshoots, I'd welcome a simpler solution. But I wonder if this tech can truly replicate the emotions and authenticity captured during real shoots.

Zajin dacos · Answer

If this tech can deliver consistency and speed while staying authentic, its a win for marketers. But I'd still want to mix it up wit some real shoots for variety.
