Sy Goldstein is an award-winning AI artist with a background in film and photography.

His AI work blends elements of humor, horror, sci-fi, and the surreal to create an alternate 1980s New York City, filled with bizarre characters. Each series is accompanied by a short interview with one of his subjects, highlighting the absurdity and mundanity of human existence.

What sets Sy's work apart is his ability to blend cutting-edge AI technology with a distinctly human touch of humor and absurdity, creating a world that is both fantastical and eerily familiar.

Before working with AI, Sy directed music videos, national branded video campaigns, short documentaries, and films. As an AI artist, his work has been featured in exhibitions and publications around the world.

Sy Goldstein is the winner of the AI Image Developing & Creating Category in the Spotlight Awards 2024.

Originally from Toronto, Canada, Steve now resides in Phoenix, Arizona, but still works in both locations.

Steve recently worked with a few of his corporate clients across the USA, starting with two locations for Jet Aviation. His first stop was in Houston, Texas, where he photographed a Bombardier Challenger going to market. He then quickly made his way to Burbank, California, to photograph team members.

A few weeks later, Steve drove to Las Vegas to photograph the head of IT of a global staging and rigging company, for CDW.

He then traveled back to Texas to photograph portraits for OpenText, a California-based software company, using those headshots to create aviation-themed AI portraits for their event.

Prior to these corporate projects, Steve completed his 10th year photographing the Top Docs issue for Phoenix Magazine, featuring world-renowned chef Chris Bianco.

People, real people, have been the subject of Robert Houser’s work for over 30 years. Primarily working for healthcare and industrial clients, he travels worldwide with one goal, to connect with those he photographs. That connection is tantamount to his approach to photography – every image begins with the idea of a portrait, a conversation.

Whether he is working with a single assistant or a crew of 10, Bob will discuss each image with every subject individually ahead of time. If that means climbing eight stories up a chemical plant’s tower or getting on the ground to talk to a young child with a rare disease, he aims to begin every project by finding areas of interest with his subjects and commencing a conversation that will continue throughout the shoot.
