Photographic Mission Statement

Discussions
1

Hey all, I wanted to share something I thought was really cool. Years ago I took the strength finders test to discover my top five strengths were Empathy, Adaptability, Belief, Futuristic, and Intellection. A friend of mine encouraged me to write these words into a self mission statement. I struggled for years to figure out how to best do this. Then I had a ping the other day to try ChatGPT, at least as a start. Then I decided to see what it would give me for a photographic mission statement, & what it gave me I thought was really neat.

My photographic mission is to capture the essence of humanity with empathy, adapting to diverse stories & moments. I believe in the power of images to convey a futuristic vision while engaging in deep intellection to create lasting visual narratives that inspire & connect.

I have my skepticism & uncertainty about AI most of the times, but itā€™s something like this that make it really helpful. Just wanted to share as inspiration for any of you wanting to refresh or create a mission statement for yourself & your art :sparkles:

This is so cool Stasia! As someone who struggles with finding the right words ChatGPT has really been a game changer for me too. Iā€™ll have to play around with this and see if I can come up with my own mission statement!

Thatā€™s pretty neat. I took that test too, I might play with it as well.

Interestingā€¦. Just try to avoid what can be called ā€œartspeak.ā€ It takes meaningless to a new level.

Thanks for your thoughts Diane. Iā€™d love for you to elaborate on that moreā˜ŗļø

Iā€™d love to have time to, but donā€™t. Just look at about 10 artist statements (by ā€œrealā€ artists) and see how many of them look like they were written by AI 1.0. Do they really mean anything or just sound like snow jobs. That is Artspeak.
