David Sheldrick · Sora Showcase

David Sheldrick is a British Korean artist based in London, a graduate of the London College of Fashion in Fashion Photography, with a keen interest in image assembly, nature, and technology.

“Sora is most powerful when creating new worlds & new physics. Just how real it can be, especially when creating humans, was really a ‘we have arrived’ moment. I have used a lot of different AI tools but nothing has yet come close to the realism of Sora.

I had to adapt my creative process somewhat, it took a few weeks to accept that I will have to reconsider the way I work to make sure im getting the best out of Sora, but once I went through that period of exploration and maybe friction at time, it opened up a totally new level of creative output.

I started my career as a photographer, shooting backstage at fashion shows, being a fly on the wall capturing these tall glamorous creatures slinking through the different stations backstage. This video piece is a throwback to those beginnings in photography and those proving grounds that set my trajectory for the rest of my life.”
