Real Faces, Not Algorithm‑Approved Ones

We live in a digital era obsessed with perfection. AI filters, photo-editing apps, and social media algorithms push everyone toward the same “ideal” look, making faces appear increasingly similar. Uniqueness is fading, and subtle quirks—what makes each face memorable—are being erased.

This project celebrates real faces and challenges the uniformity pushed by AI, filters, and social media trends. Follow if you stand for individuality over algorithmic perfection.

Facetune Portraits by Gretchen Andrew shines a light on this hidden process. Using custom robotics, oil painting, and a decade of experimentation, each portrait exposes how technology and social pressure standardize appearances. The project is both a critique and a celebration: a critique of digital homogenization and a celebration of human individuality.

Every asymmetry, every imperfection, every distinctive feature is showcased and honored. The project reminds us that flaws are not weaknesses—they are expressions of personality and humanity. In a world where the algorithm rewards sameness, Facetune Portraits celebrates the power of authenticity.

This is more than art—it’s cultural commentary. Celebrities, influencers, and everyday social media users face pressure to conform to algorithm-approved beauty standards. Over time, this creates a narrow definition of beauty. Gretchen Andrew’s work encourages us to notice, value, and celebrate diversity in appearance.

Follow this project if you believe in the power of authenticity. Follow if you resist the pressure to conform. Follow if you want to see faces that tell stories, not templates dictated by code. Facetune Portraits is a movement, reminding us that imperfection is beautiful, and individuality is essential.
