Yaroslavl woman sells AI-generated photos with manual adjustments

In recent years, artificial intelligence has increasingly permeated people«s lives. Thanks to it, answers to any question can be obtained with a single click. Many use AI for study and work. A new trend is the creation of photos and videos through special applications. Some professionals have even built their careers on photography assisted by AI.

Anastasia Belyaeva from Yaroslavl Oblast is one such person. At the end of 2025, she completed training courses and began creating photoshoots generated by a neural network.

‘First, I upload a photo and a detailed description (prompt) into an application, most often specialized bots in Telegram. If the result isn’t perfect, I finish it manually: I adjust the angle, face, details of the composition. Artificial intelligence provides about 70–80% of the result, the rest is done by hand,’ shared Nastya in an interview with 76.RU.

Her pricing depends on the number of photographs. On average, a photoshoot of 6–8 images costs five thousand rubles (approximately $56 at current rates). A single frame can be ordered for 500 rubles (about $6 at current rates). If two people are depicted in the photo, the cost increases to 1000 rubles (around $11 at current rates) due to the larger volume of work.
