Photographer Alper Yesiltas, based in Istanbul, utilizes various AI tools to determine the next James Bond and shares his thoughts on whether artificial intelligence can replace traditional photography.
Who is the next James Bond?
007 fans eagerly await the successor to Daniel Craig, who concluded his role in No Time To Die (2021).
Speculation and intriguing rumors abound regarding the coveted mantle, as Craig regarded as one of the finest Bonds. Consequently, a significant transition akin to Casino Royale anticipated for this enduring film series, which stands as the second-longest running franchise in cinema history. (With 25 films spanning 61 years, the Bond franchise falls second to Godzilla, the reigning champion boasting 38 films since 1954.)
Alper Yesiltas, a lawyer and photographer from Istanbul, possesses exceptional talent in AI-based photography.
In previous projects like “As If Nothing Happened” (focused on aging deceased figures) and “Young Age(d)” (featuring living celebrities), Yesiltas skillfully employed tools such as Midjourney, Dall-E, Artbreeder, and Faceapp to visually depict James Bond contenders, effectively assessing their suitability for the character.
