Identity Retention Study

A controlled generative portrait study exploring decade-based facial aging while maintaining consistent identity, lighting, and bone structure.

The focus of this experiment was minimizing model drift while incrementally adjusting anatomical markers such as skin elasticity, facial volume, and hair pigmentation across time.

Rather than exaggerating transformation, this study prioritizes restraint — subtle structural change, realistic dermatological progression, and visual continuity across frames.

Tools: Generative Imaging Systems, Iterative Prompt Calibration, Identity Locking Techniques
