Context.
December 2022, I had the amazing opportunity to snorkel with orcas in Tromso, Norway.
Over a 2 night/3 day trip, we had 3 encounters with the orca. By the third and final encounter, my GoPro battery died and as luck would have it, that was the most special encounter of them all. Only the memory remains.
With AI generation tools, I set myself the challenge of recreating the encounter via AI and print it to hang on my wall. The photo to the right is pulled from the GoPro as a reference to colour, lighting.
