Four weeks

I am into my fifth week of image making now and the novelty of it has worn off to some degree. I am beginning to think properly about the type of image I want, rather than typing the first thing that comes into my head.

This morning I spent some time finding a photographer, a camera and a lens that I thought would give me an image I would like. I chose Chin Leong Teo, a multi-award-winning Singaporean photographer. I wrote this prompt; Beautiful woman, detailed close-up, in white, intricate details, pastel colours, porcelain doll, extraordinary makeup, pink and blue clouds of smoke, studio lighting and volumetric lighting Photo taken by Chin Leong Teo, taken with a Canon EOS R with a Canon RF 35mm F1.8 MACRO IS STM lens at 1/200 sec, f/2.8 and ISO200, Award-winning photography style, 4k –v 5.1  Which brought some lovely images:

No sooner had I downloaded them, than I saw this:

I have nothing against others using my, or anyone else’s prompts to learn how to write your own but that’s not what this is. I wouldn’t be naming myself “kreative” if I had to resort to this.

Chin Leong Teo is know for his wildlife photography and snakes in particular, I used this prompt; A King Cobra, curled and ready to strike, taken by Chin Leong Teo, taken with a Canon EOS R with a Canon RF 35mm F1.8 MACRO IS STM lens at 1/200 sec, f/2.8 and ISO200, Award-winning photography style, 4k –v 5.1 

Then I altered the first prompt; Beautiful woman, detailed close-up, dressed in black, mania and depression, waves of emotion, intricate details, dark colours, porcelain doll, extraordinary makeup, grey and black clouds of smoke, studio lighting and volumetric lighting Photo taken by Chin Leong Teo, taken with a Canon EOS R with a Canon RF 35mm F1.8 MACRO IS STM lens at 1/200 sec, f/2.8 and ISO200, Award-winning photography style, 4k –v 5.1 

The models are oriental because of the photographer. If I wanted to change this I would simply describe the model.

Although the description of the subject is important, it is not the only factor that needs to be considered, the wording itself is taken into consideration. This is a prompt using a formal and older way of speaking; An innumerable number of fowls of many sorts, confused, screaming and crying, on a very steep hill, surrounded by smaller hills, a man stands armed with a pistol and a horn of powder, ready to shoot, in the style of Leonardo Da Vinci 

Because I used language from a different era, the art reflects this.

I used this prompt; The origin of the Devil, his rebellion against God, his enmity to man, setting himself up in the dark parts of the world to be worshiped, –v 5.1 and got this:

Because the language used is serious, the images reflect that too.

If I’d used modern language, I’d have got the red horned beast thing, the wording is important.

I’m going to start looking into chatgpt soon and that should make for some interesting reading. Until then, here’s some hot air balloons:

That’s all there is, see you in the next one.
