Selfies of History shows historical figures taking selfies, as if they'd had camera phones. I used Midjourney to put them in familiar selfie poses, then had GPT-4 write Twitter-style captions that I overlaid in Photoshop.
The idea later split into two related series, Viral Selfies of Fiction and Tinder Profiles of History. That was the first sign the joke could work as a repeatable format.
