Alys ThomasAI Artist

Alys is a Franco-British photographer whose work contains the poetry of Paris and the humour of the UK. She has long worked with analogue photography, but more recently she has been creating with AI. Across each, there’s a remarkable synergy of style, colour and light. In both, she brings her wry observation, with the idiosynchrasies of life a recurrent theme.

She meticulously crafts her AI-generated images, inputting her own photography into the process. She layers her own colour grades and retouch to create images that give a strong sense of her distinctive, human touch, making her creations uniquely her own.
