LA-based modeling agency Photogenics opened up a new Avatar division that promises to help models explore and monetize the digital world. This new division offers up avant-garde, photorealistic avatars that are created by scanning a model's face using a camera and a proprietary stitching algorithm.
The Photogenics Avatar Division is launching this month with more than a dozen models, including Sedona Legge, Milan Dixon and Dasha Nguyen. These finished avatars help the models expand their careers into the digital realm, since their likenesses can be used for the purposes of displaying clothes, animations and presenting for brands and retailers.
As fashion brands become more and more prominent within the metaverse, metaverse-based modeling opportunities are emerging and this Avatar division supports real people over completely computer-generated ones.
