Have you ever tried ChatGPT to critique your own photo?

I entered “Analyze image and include style” and was returned with:

The image you uploaded is a black-and-white photograph with a dramatic, noir-inspired style. Here are some key elements of the image:

Analysis of the Image:​

1. • Subject & Composition:
   • • The central figure is an older man with a beard, wearing a fedora hat, dark sunglasses, a trench coat, and a tie.
     • He holds a large knife in one hand and a decorative goblet in the other.
     • A single tomato sits on a plate in front of him.
2. • Atmosphere & Lighting:
   • • The lighting is high-contrast and dramatic, reminiscent of film noir or chiaroscuro photography.
     • A single lit candle on the left casts a warm yet eerie glow, adding to the intensity of the scene.
     • Shadows play a significant role in creating a sense of mystery.
3. • Props & Setting:
   • • The background consists of a bamboo or reed-like wall, contributing to a rustic or exotic feel.
     • The tablecloth has a textured, intricate design.
     • There is a bottle of alcohol on the right, labeled but partially obscured.
     • The knife and goblet add a ritualistic or dramatic element to the scene.

Style:​

• • Film Noir: The use of stark lighting, deep shadows, and an enigmatic character aligns with the aesthetic of classic noir films.
  • Gothic or Macabre Influence: The dark clothing, candlelit setting, and overall ominous tone give it a slightly gothic or surreal quality.
  • Cinematic Composition: The arrangement of objects and the subject’s intense posture suggest a staged, storytelling approach.

This image tells a story—possibly of mystery, danger, or an unusual ritual.

That’s impressive…but I’m not sure how useful. It didn’t really tell me anything that I didn’t already know by looking at it.

“It’s a man wearing a fedora….”

“Really?”

Just for excrement and hilarity, try plugging all that text back into an image generator and see what it spits back.

Here's your answer, courtesy of Adobe Firefly (my first request). You can find the place to enter info on your Adobe Creative Cloud login panel.

It's not remotely up to the standard of Dean's portrait; but, seriously, a photographer could ask Adobe Firefly for an image and then request the client/model to "look like this".

Dean, maybe you could run this image through your ChapGPT app or website. We await instalment two!

I know that AI work is not copyrightable, but may I save this photo?

Actually, it's an Outback Hat that matches the Outback Duster. I've had these since the early '80s and their great when taking my camera for a walk in the Oregon Rain.
