This assignment took me to Anthropic to create futuristic, superhero-inspired portraits for a story on AI safety testing and its role in making technology safer.
This Wall Street Journal assignment took me to Anthropic, where I photographed the team working on AI safety testing—a fascinating story about the critical role of “red teams” tasked with stress-testing AI systems to uncover vulnerabilities.
The photo editor’s direction was simple: “Make it futuristic.” With only a gray seamless backdrop to work with, I used bold, colored lighting to create a high-tech, atmospheric feel. For the group portrait, I wanted something superhero-inspired. The work they’re doing—ensuring AI systems are safer—feels like a mission to protect the world, so I leaned into confident poses and dramatic lighting to reflect that.
This shoot reminded me how much I enjoy blending creative problem-solving with storytelling. Even with minimal tools, thoughtful lighting and composition can transform a straightforward setup into something dynamic and visually compelling.
