Hi All! I need help with pictures! I created a beach wrap pattern and I need pictures of it actually being worn. Iām a 50 year old mother of 2 and donāt want to be a beach model!
In my original post, I used AI on my body (did NOT use AI in the wrap itself) to show it worn. I forgot we cannot use AI in our pictures.
Can I please get volunteers to make this and share photos of it being worn? The pattern is posted for free!
Oh, thatās a shame, I would have liked to do it, but I donāt want to share my body or my face on the appā¦..
cant do this pattern today, but i just got it!
Same! I can hide my face but the body is kinda needed to show the wrap
i tried on a hanger and lying flat but both look awful. It doesnāt show how the wrap cuts across the chest and opens at the leg. I put careful thought into both of those when I made the pattern.
I really need a volunteer to make/model this. None of my friends are willing to have a bathing suit photo online, and I donāt blame them. Iām really stuck and in need of a volunteer. 
AI can be used in backgrounds, to my knowledge, just not the item itself. I think the point of āno AIā as a rule is to avoid having AI generated patterns and fake items put up in Ribblr for sale.
Many of us designers use AI to some extent for backgrounds, be it to remove our own homes from the image and still have a nice setting, to do a transparency filter, etc.
I understand what youāre saying, but Ribblr makes the rules and I had to remove the images. They provided suggestions, which was nice, but unfortunately those arenāt working out.
Ah. Thatās unfortunate 
You could potentially reach out on Ravelry too? Thereās a larger base of 18+ crocheters there than on Ribblr.
If you used portrait mode on your phone that would solve a lot of issues. It blurs the background and you can erase whatever is in the background that is needed to be erased as well, but portrait mode is also allowed and you can also crop your head out of the photo. The pictures donāt actually show anything inappropriate or that would be unsafe for work so to speak. Even with a body of multiple pregnancies, this coverup is incredibly flattering and portrait mode on your camera will do you favors that are also allowed for ribblr because it is simply a portrait picture. The pattern isnāt altered and you arenāt being altered beyond whatever your camera automatically takes.
Would i have to wear a swim suit or could I do a tight fit shirt and biker shorts?
I might be able to do it. When do you need the picture by cus Iām on a little bit of a tiem crunch lately with uni but would love to help :)
Thanks for the suggestion. We did try portrait mode in the original photos but had no luck.
Honestly Iām fine with whatever would show how the wrap fits 
I completely understand. Any help would be appreciated, so time doesnāt really matter
Yeah, honestly thatās why I thought it was fine. āAIā is such a broad term, and itās used so much that people donāt even know theyāre using it. I thought the image was ok because AI was NOT used on the wrap, itself. So the item is not changed at all in the photo.
My hobby is causing me stress! 
I can relate Good pictures are also a stress point for me. Also why I will not make clothes. Iām outgoing in a lot of ways, most ways, but not putting pictures of myself in ceochet up.
Thatā¦ and the one time I crocheted a cardigan it wound up being like a 3x somehow instead of closer to just an oversized L 
Oh thatās a bummer. Me and portrait mode are besties. I erase the junk out the background too. Mom of 4 so I understand the mom bod swimsuit thing. I would just get my teenager to do it if I could crochet that fast but it will take me far too long to make it. And I donāt know how to sew a lining.
It really is beautiful and this is something I would actually use.
