Visual Noise

Backgrounds were often distracting, containing photo-bombers, disorganized equipment, and general clutter.

Clutter Rating

High

Poor Framing & Poses

Many photos had awkward framing, stretched ratios, and students with uninspired or forced poses.

Utilized advanced AI algorithms to transform blurry, low-resolution files into high-definition, crystal-clear visuals, eliminating the stretched and pixelated look.
