Built From Real People
Every face. Every story. Annotated and rights-cleared.
We sit at the intersection of culture, content, and AI — building the world's most inclusive media library through authentic imagery, global production, and deep cultural intelligence.
Pre-built datasets, custom production, skintone research, and cultural intelligence — all rights-cleared and built from deep cultural understanding.
Pre-built, rights-cleared photo, video, and illustration datasets annotated with cultural metadata — skintone, ethnicity, behavioral context, and more. Ready for your AI/ML training pipeline.
Browse datasets →Our studio builds bespoke visual datasets on a project basis — motion capture, facial recognition, skintone research, object detection, and behavioral data. From brief to delivery, anywhere in the world.
Start a project →What we know about people of color around the world — non-western gestures, religious attire, family structures, regional settings. Our metadata captures the nuances that single-axis diversity labels miss.
Discover insights →A studio-based research project using the Monk Skintone Scale — capturing ground-truth data across the full spectrum of human skin tones in controlled and variable lighting conditions.
View research →An industry-wide initiative with INNOCEAN USA — re-educating generative AI through culturally accurate imagery. Started when AI couldn't produce a Black surfer, now delivering 100K+ pieces of original media to Google, Adobe, Microsoft, OpenAI, and more.
