The 3-Frame Intent Prompt

Try this today (10 minutes):

  1. Pick one simple subject (a mug, window light, a tree, your desk).
  2. Make 3 photos with your phone:
    • Wide (context)
    • Medium (subject)
    • Close (texture/detail)

Then paste this into ChatGPT (copy/paste prompt):

ChatGPT prompt (photographer-friendly):
“Act as my photography coach. I shot a 3-frame series (wide/medium/close) of [subject] in [light: window/overcast/tungsten]. My intent is [calm / dramatic / intimate / graphic].
Give me:

  1. One composition adjustment to try next,
  2. One light adjustment (where to stand / angle),
  3. One edit suggestion (contrast/color),
  4. A 1-sentence title for the series.
    Keep it simple and specific.”

Why it works: you’re using ChatGPT for direction + constraints, not for “making art.” It helps you notice your next move.
