Huh, the article said it’s a mix of AI and Photoshop, so I’d be interested in seeing what the studio’s workflow looks like. Some of the images are really convincing at first glance; If I really look, details like the light direction/ shadow and the boundary area of clothing hints start to look off. It’s impressive (and somewhat terrifying) how much they’ve managed to avoid the uncanny valley.
In this case, I was mainly going off the fact that the model has videos that don’t have any ai generation hallmarks. Digging a little deeper, looks like she’s also got a few photo sets and videos on YouTube from a few years ago that make me inclined to believe that there’s an actual person in there somewhere.
That said, thank you for the reminder to question everything.
Probably edited/ filtered so some extent, but yes, it’s as real as anything on Instagram is. The model is Nienke van Schijndel (nienke.fitness on Instagram / nienkefit on OF) (Source).

Nope, I can’t speak to any sort of photo manipulation, but I’m more inclined to believe it’s from Reddit / OF user YourIvoryFox (Source)
Found it! You are correct on the model, the set is helpfully called and Kristy and since the official preview images are all lame, here’s OP’s pic with the the banner in tact.
(I swear self-titled sets are the bane of my existence)
Lol, nice username! Fear is the mind killer…

Well this was a fun internet archeology expedition, the model goes by Rena and the photos seem to have originated from a site called Rena’s Room in the early 2000’s. I’m struggling to pin down if she goes (or went) by another name, but here’s one source I found. One of the Reddit posts I stumble across also linked an imgur album that’s somehow intact nine years later.
