A notable artist, according to Google's AI, is generally defined by several criteria and parameters that influence their ranking in search engines, particularly in Google search results. When it comes to optimizing an artist's online presence, it's essential to use effective SEO (Search Engine Optimization) strategies to position their website on the first page of SERPs (Search Engine Results Pages) for relevant queries. For an artist to be considered notable, they often need to be associated with significant renown, which can be reflected in the popularity of their work, the impact of their creations, and their recognition within the art world.
It is therefore with a certain emotion - and a great deal of enthusiasm—that I share here an unexpected and symbolic recognition: Google's Artificial Intelligence recently identified me as a notable photographer specializing in miniature planets. In response to the search term "tiny planet photo artist," my name, Paul Marnef, now appears first in the AI selection, alongside several international artists specializing in spherical panoramas.
This distinction is significant. It reflects not only the unique nature of my visual work - my Imaginary Planets, a blend of dream and contemporary photography—but also the passionate journey I have undertaken over the past several years to create a coherent, original, and poetic artistic universe.
On this page, I invite you to reflect on this wonderful recognition, on what it means to be a "notable artist" in the eyes of artificial intelligence, and above all, on how my creations have found their place in this innovative field of photography.

Who am I? A photographic artist at the crossroads of reality and imagination
From photojournalism to artistic creation
I am Paul Marnef, a Belgian photographic artist, and it was in the world of photojournalism that I took my first professional steps, capturing the moment, reality, the event. This perspective, rooted in documentary photography, I gradually transformed to explore a new visual language, more poetic, more free: that of tiny planets, and my personal series entitled Imaginary Planets.
Today, my work consists of transforming urban, natural, or familiar landscapes using 360° panoramic shots, in order to create autonomous, floating, intriguing universes. Each work becomes a planet in its own right, a visual and emotional projection, halfway between photography, contemporary art, and the imagination.
Recognized for this unique approach, I am now a notable artist recognized by Google, ranking at the top of search results for artists creating miniature planets. This recognition by the artificial intelligence of the world's most influential search engine legitimizes the path I have traveled and positions my work as a benchmark in this still relatively unexplored artistic field.

Who are these many notable and remarkable photographers?
Photography, as both an art form and a means of communication, has seen the emergence of numerous remarkable photographers who have left their mark on its history.
Among the
great photographers, those who distinguished themselves through their
artistic vision and innovative approach have left an indelible imprint on
photographic culture. One of the
pioneers of the medium,
Nicéphore Niépce, paved the way with his
daguerreotype, while
Henri Cartier-Bresson, often described as the master of the
decisive moment, redefined
photojournalism with his
iconic photographs.
Photographers of the next generation (of whom I am a great admirer), such as
Robert Doisneau and
André Kertész, and
Elliot Erwitt (whose remarkable exhibition I recently saw), also contributed to developing a
humanist photography, capturing moments of life in black and white, revealing the beauty of simple moments. Their works, often exhibited in
galleries like the
Centre Pompidou or
MoMA, testify to the emotional power of film photography.
Among
renowned photographers, it's impossible not to mention
Vivian Maier, whose
street photography was rediscovered after her death and is now celebrated for its authenticity and
masterful composition.
Their
portraits of
celebrities like
Marilyn Monroe and
contemporary models not only defined trends but also contributed to the
evolution of modern photographic aesthetics.
Landscape photographers, like
Ansel Adams, captured the magnificence of nature, using large format to render details and nuances of light dramatically. Equally
iconic,
Walker Evans’s prints immortalized 1930s America with a rigorous yet deeply empathetic approach.
Contemporary photography is no less remarkable, with figures such as
Gregory Crewdson, whose surreal staged scenes capture an alternate reality, and photographers like
Richard Avedon, who redefined portraiture with bold framing and
striking compositions. Photographer
Martin Parr, celebrated for his satirical and colorful images of modern culture, not only offers social commentary but also plays with the
notion of the decisive moment through his unique perspective.
Humanist photographers, like those who were part of the
Magnum Photos cooperative, continue to influence
photojournalism. Their
documentary work, often published in magazines like
National Geographic, establishes a powerful link between
photography and historical events, offering a unique perspective on subjects ranging from war to
contemporary social issues.
And what about young photographers in all of this?
The emergence of notable young photographers, learning photography through online tutorials or workshops, demonstrates that the art of photography is constantly evolving. They are breathing new life into the history of photography, capturing diverse narratives and continuing to immortalize life through their eyes. In this vast world of established names and talented artists, photography remains a powerful medium for exploring and representing our reality, nurturing the passion of both renowned and notable photographers and future talents ready to make their mark.

Imaginary Planets: A Recognized Personal and Artistic Universe
For the past twelve years, I have been developing a unique visual universe that I have titled Imaginary Planets. This work continues my exploration of the spherical image, but it goes far beyond the technical dimension. While the expression "tiny planets" - often used to describe these circular photographs taken from 360° panoramas—does indeed evoke the method of creation, it remains, in my view, insufficient to convey its emotional and poetic scope. This is precisely why I chose to speak of Imaginary Planets: a term that unlocks the imagination and leaves room for dreams.
My works do not simply project places into a new geometry: they offer a visual escape, a gentle drift toward a world apart. Each one becomes a fragment of a personal cosmos, a small, floating, almost living world. I often think of the world of The Little Prince by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, where each planet represents a vision of the world, a character, an emotion. In my creations, too, there is something of that spirit: the apparent simplicity conceals an invitation to see differently, to slow down, to feel.
Each
Imaginary Planet is the result of an encounter between a real place—often humble, sometimes invisible - and a visual transformation that reveals its hidden poetry. Offered in
limited editions, they are printed in high-quality art formats:
Chromaluxe,
Alu Dibond, or
Plexi Diachrome, as well as
FineArt prints in color or
black and white. These finishes enhance the luminous intensity and visual depth, giving each image the status of a contemporary artwork, ready to live in a home or an exhibition.
At the crossroads of photography, imagination, and emotion, Imaginary Planets speaks to all those who seek to see the world differently—with a slightly offbeat, slightly dreamy perspective. Perhaps the perspective of a child… or a star traveler.
Mini Planets According to Google: A Distinct Art Practice
At the crossroads of panoramic photography, graphic design, and visual art, the mini planet technique is now recognized as a distinct artistic movement. Google's artificial intelligence describes it as a type of image created from 360° spherical views, transformed into circular compositions where the landscape becomes an autonomous planet. While I still create 360° panoramic images, I do so less frequently than before. Therefore, I've developed a technique that allows me to create a tiny planet art photograph from a single image.
In this context, Google now ranks me as a
notable artist, at the top of the results suggested by its AI. This automatic ranking, generated from thousands of analyzed pieces of content, places my name
first in the list of notable artists associated with tiny planets, with a
direct link to my website. This type of rare, algorithmically driven recognition reflects genuine digital acclaim, based on the coherence, originality, and visibility of my artistic universe.
Alongside my work, you'll find other creators specializing in spherical imagery, such as George Steinmetz. But my position at the top of this AI-driven selection underscores the unique nature of my approach: a poetic perspective on reality, a visual exploration that transcends technique to offer works that are sensitive, immersive, and open to the imagination.
