Upload your face.
Get the shot.
Darkroom AI Studio turns a handful of everyday selfies into studio-grade photos of you. Upload 2–6 photos of your face, pick the kind of shot you want — LinkedIn headshot, noir portrait, cinematic 35mm — and the AI writes a real photographer's brief, then renders a brand-new image with your likeness in that lighting and lens. No studio, no photographer, about 15 seconds.

Your photos in. New photos of you out.
Three steps, all in the browser. Your reference photos stay yours — they're used to render your look tests and nothing else.
You upload 2–6 photos of your face
Ordinary selfies are fine. The AI grades every frame for light, angle, sharpness and how well they match each other, then tells you which ones to swap out so it can recognise you properly.
You choose the photo you want
Pick a pack — LinkedIn headshot, noir, cinematic 35mm — or describe the shot in plain English. The AI writes the real shot brief: key and fill lighting, camera body and lens, pose, wardrobe and colour story.
It shoots a new photo of you
One click and the AI renders a brand-new image with your face from the references, placed in that lighting, lens and setting. Download it, tweak the direction, and shoot again.
Six rooms, already lit.
Each pack loads its own lighting and lens defaults into the studio. Change a word of it and the brief follows you.

The honest bits.
Does it actually generate a photo?
Yes. The studio sends your reference photo and the brief to an image model and returns a real render you can download. Nothing on this site is a mock-up.
Where do my reference photos go?
They stay in your browser. They are sent to the model only for the check or the render you trigger, and they are never stored on a server.
Why check the set before generating?
Most bad likenesses are caused by a bad reference set — same angle six times, harsh light, sunglasses. The check tells you which photos are dragging the set down before you spend a render on it.
How close is the likeness?
Close, not perfect. Treat the render as a look test: it proves the lighting, lens and styling direction before a real shoot or a fine-tuned model.
What counts as a generation?
One rendered look test. You need a free account to run the studio. The free trial is 5 generations in total — a one-off, not a monthly or daily allowance. Still deciding? Ask us from the studio and we'll happily consider another five on us (one request per account). Pro is A$20/month for 100, and top-ups add 25 for A$3, 50 for A$5 or 100 for A$8–10. Set checks and shot briefs are unlimited on both plans.
