In my St Malo images, I wanted to try to experiment using the generative fill Ai tool in photoshop. With this, I wanted to try and show peoples impact on these more city-based stills, more specifically the heavy use of graffiti scattered around the town of St Malo and how teenagers may use this to make these areas feel like their own alongside the heavy ‘hustle and bustle’ and fast-paced lifestyle that the city life brings.

Unfortunately, this tool didn’t work effectively within my images as the people generated look unrealistic and out of place, sometimes not generating correctly either. Within this project I won’t be using Ai as I feel that this also takes away from the ideology behind the ‘decisive-moment’ as it adds a sense of falsity and doesn’t contribute to my perception of what I want to explore.
