AI photo and image processing for business - put on a production line, the way I did for myself
A narrow, deliberate focus: photos and images. Background removal and replacement, retouching and color, generating product cards and object shots, upscaling and restoration, bringing your catalog to platform requirements. Where AI falls short, manual finishing steps in, so the output is not "roughly similar" but a result ready for the listing and for print.
I built this myself
Everything you see on this site runs on the AI image processing I set up and built myself. Go in and run your own photo through it right now:
- Colorizing, restoration and recovery of old and damaged photos
- Background removal and replacement, cutting out complex objects
- Upscaling, sharpening and deblurring
- All on my own hardware and open-source models, no expensive subscriptions
I put image processing on a production line
Most people don't get stuck on a single beautiful shot but on volume: hundreds and thousands of products, new deliveries every week, different photographers and different input quality, while the output has to have one consistent look. Manual retouching is expensive and slow, and a single subscription service isn't wired into your process and won't hold one standard. I build a pipeline for your task: how images come in, what runs automatically, where manual finishing steps in, how finished files flow into your catalog, your website or your internal systems. Set it up once, and from there the flow runs by the rules.
What AI does with your images on the line
Background removal and replacement at scale
Batch background removal and replacement across the whole catalog: white for marketplaces, branded for your brand, transparent PNG for your site. The whole series is processed together, with the same edge cutout, shadow and placement of the object in the frame. Complex edges - hair, fur, glass, filigree, the shine of metal - are cleaned up by manual finishing so the outline never gets eaten away.
Retouching and color: one quality across the whole series
Automatic retouching and color correction to a single standard: the same brightness, white balance and presentation across the whole range, so the catalog looks like one set rather than an assembly from different photographers. We remove dust, scratches, stray glare and clutter in the frame. Where texture and material fidelity matter, the final touch is done by hand.
Generating product images without a photoshoot
When a studio shoot is expensive or the product isn't in hand yet, the shot can be generated: an object shot, the product in a scene or interior, a flat lay, an ad visual for a banner. The object is taken from your source file, the surroundings are built for the task. Faster and cheaper than a studio, and on the line it delivers a predictable, uniform result across the whole range.
Upscaling and restoration: from archive to catalog and print
Small, old source files shot however they came out are raised in resolution with detail recovery: for a large product card, a banner and print. This also covers restoration of archival photos and recovery of blurred shots. For complex restoration, where fidelity can't be lost, the AI pass is topped off with manual finishing.
Catalog to marketplace and store requirements
Every platform has its own rules: size, proportions, background, margins, file weight. I bring the whole catalog to the required format all at once, instead of redoing cards one by one by hand. The output is images ready to upload to marketplace listings and your online store, with no manual fitting for each platform.
Product shots and complex materials: jewelry, glass, metal
A separate block - product photography and complex surfaces: jewelry, metal, glass, ceramics, fabric. In jewelry this means clean metal with no dust or fingerprints, readable stone faceting, tidy shadows and reflections. Automation handles the volume, while quality on the edges and the shine is held by manual finishing.
AI plus manual finishing - where quality and volume come from
Bare AI gives you volume but sometimes smears: the cutout edge, a reflection, a texture, fine geometry. Bare manual labor gives you quality but can't carry the flow. I combine the two: AI clears the routine at speed, and on complex shots and final control the manual touch kicks in. Manual finishing on tricky frames is a deliberate safety margin where automation can't be trusted all the way. You don't have to choose between "fast but sloppy" and "high quality but slow and expensive": the flow runs fast, and the output is a result you won't be ashamed to put in a listing.
Ways to work together
Turnkey AI implementation
I build and embed an image processing pipeline into your business: background removal and replacement, retouching and color, generation and upscaling, bringing the catalog to platform requirements. I set up the flow from source files to finished files in your catalog, on your site or in your internal systems. Not a presentation but a system that runs in production. The way I did it for myself.
- Built for your flow, not a template
- A working system in production
- Training for your team
AI audit and strategy
I break down your image flow, processes and data, find where AI will genuinely save money and time on processing, and hand you a roadmap with priorities and an estimate of the effect. Paid, because it's already a result, not a sales pitch.
- Audit of the flow and processes
- Roadmap with an effect estimate
- Tools and budget for the task
AI support on outsourcing
I run the rollout and development of AI processing for you in place of an in-house department: new scenarios for new products and platforms, support, quality and metrics control.
- An outsourced AI director role
- Development and support of the systems
- Priority access
How a project runs
What you get
- Volume without growing a retouching team - AI carries the routine, manual work stays only on the hard cases and on control.
- A single catalog look - the same background, light and presentation across the whole range.
- Faster time to market - a new delivery turns into finished listings sooner.
- Lower cost per shot - the cost of processing drops when AI carries the routine.
- Your data stays with you - own models and own hardware, your photos don't go off to someone else's service.
Who it's for
- Online stores and brands with a large and growing catalog.
- Marketplace sellers who need lots of listings that meet platform requirements.
- Photo studios and agencies scaling their processing without bloating the team.
- Manufacturers and wholesalers with a constant flow of new items.
- Anyone whose photos have already piled up but sit raw and aren't brought to a single look.
Why me
I'm not a theorist. I built the image processing tools myself, put them on a production line myself, and show them live rather than on a slide deck. I work on open-source models and my own infrastructure instead of expensive third-party subscriptions, so the solution stays yours and isn't tied to anyone's pricing plan. I take on a limited number of projects so I can run each one personally. Which means I'll build you something that works, not a presentation.
Frequently asked questions
How is this better than just subscribing to an online service?
A subscription is someone else's tool sitting off to the side of your process, with no single standard and no integration into your catalog. I build the flow on your side, for your formats, platforms and systems, and leave you a working process rather than access to someone else's button.
We have complex products - jewelry, glass, metal. Can AI handle it?
That's exactly the kind of thing automation smears on most often. So on complex shots manual finishing steps in after AI. The neural network carries the volume, while a human holds the quality on edges, shine and reflections.
Will our photos and data stay with us?
Yes. I work on my own models and my own hardware, and source files and results don't go off to third-party services.
What if AI quality isn't enough on a particular shot?
That's exactly what manual finishing is for. Questionable shots are reworked by hand, and 'roughly similar' never makes it into the catalog.
Which platforms do you work with?
I bring the catalog to marketplace and store requirements: sizes, background, margins, file weight. We set the formats for your platforms at the start.
Do we still need a retouching team after implementation?
The flow closes the routine automatically, and manual work stays targeted - on the hard cases and on control. Dependence on a retouching queue drops.
Need AI beyond images?
My core focus is photos and images. But if you have adjacent tasks (chatbots, processing requests and documents, text and content), those are open to discussion within an implementation or support engagement. I won't spell them out here so as not to blur the focus - just tell me about the task and we'll figure it out.Tell me about your task
Describe where you are with images right now: how many products, where the photos come from, where they need to go, what hurts. I'll tell you what can realistically be put on a production line, where to start and what it will give you. I take on a limited number of projects, and the first short consultation is free.
