AI Product & Innovation Lead. And Photographer.
AI Work
I am the Global Head of Innovation at The Gardening Club.
I lead the AI team at The Sweetshop, a global production company. Our remit is to use these tools to help make bigger, bolder, more ambitious things using AI and other technologies. Better with different, not more with less.
I’ve had a wide career:
- Uni: Biology (Neuroendocrinology)
- 20s: web stuff
- 30s: video, main titles, motion graphics and vfx
- 40s+ installations (temporary & permanent) and immersive (AR, VR, game engines and AI).
- Lots of AI
Here’s my LinkedIn if you want to talk shop.
I’ve won a few awards: an Emmy (Dexter), Cannes Grand Prix x 2 (Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas & Pedigree ADoptable).
Photography & Biography
Colin Davis is a photographer working in London, making work that captures masculine beauty in a way that pays homage to classical art while being infused with the rawness and intimacy of porn.
Davis’s work evolved into his signature dark, fantastical and painterly works, constantly pushing boundaries to widen the definition of fine art. His art challenges audiences to embrace the honesty in sexuality often “scrubbed” in a media landscape limited by what is considered to be “advertising acceptable.” While his photography has been exhibited in Antwerp, Chicago and London. His show Filth with the oil painter Orpheus in 2024 was his first major show.
Raised in New Mexico, Davis moved to Chicago and trained as a neuroendocrinologist, moving out of science to pursue his love of fonts and movies to create main title sequences. Having relocated to London, Davis currently is the Global Head of Innovation (leading AI and visual effects) at a global production company in parallel with his photography practice. He is the recipient of an Emmy and two Cannes Grands Prix.
