A 20x30 poster featuring a selection of my works with the daguerreotype photographs of Andrew Jackson. (Hi-Res available at my ebay store). This turned into a surprisingly extensive project for a president I never originally intended to focus on—but once I began, I couldn’t stop. Whatever one’s opinion of Jackson, he’s undeniably a fascinating figure to study.
About the poster:
Andrew Jackson: Through a Modern Lens
Experience Andrew Jackson as if captured by a contemporary camera—realistic, unposed moments that bring history vividly to life.
Through the eye of an imaginary lens, step into key scenes from Jackson’s remarkable journey: his formative years, quiet reflections with his beloved wife Rachel at The Hermitage in Nashville, his commanding presence in full military dress, and his fiery encounters with political rivals such as John Quincy Adams. These lifelike portraits offer an intimate, candid, and deeply human view of a complex American leader.
See Jackson’s original daguerreotype photograph carefully colorized and enhanced—transformed as though taken with today’s technology. You’ll also discover de-aged portraits revealing how Jackson may have appeared in his youth.
Each image is grounded in authentic historical sources—actual photographs, life masks, and period paintings—never generated from AI prompts alone. My goal is to achieve the most accurate and respectful likenesses possible.
These portraits blend modern AI tools with meticulous Photoshop craftsmanship. Unlike quick, generic AI “pump and dump” images, every piece is carefully refined by hand—adjusting facial angles and restoring authentic features to ensure the subject remains true to life. AI alone often distorts historical faces; my process restores their genuine identity, so they look as they truly were.
