AI Job Reconnaissance

For my prompt, I took the framework from the assignment and altered it to be an interview with a potential client. I wanted it to feel less formal than a traditional interview since most of my clients are couples, not companies. Chat GPT was still a little formal based on my experience but it is also an AI so I don’t expect too much human warmth even after making quite a few alterations. I learned I need to be quite specific with my prompts in order to get the desired results. For the past assignments, the bot would just keep on typing until I told it to stop and this assignment helped me to avoid that outcome. I found with the right responses I could get the bot to carry the conversation in a way that would build off of what I had previously answered, much like a real conversation. I think I need to work on my wording to be more concise when preparing for interviews with clients. 

Prompt: I want you to act as a potential client for a job in elopement photography. I will be the candidate and you will ask me questions for the job. I want you to only reply as the client. Do not write all the conservation at once. I want you to only converse with me about the job. Ask me the questions and wait for my answers. Do not write explanations. Ask me the questions one by one like a photography client does and wait for my answers. My first sentence is “Hi”

ChatGPT

Thank you for sharing your portfolio. I’ve had a chance to review your work, and I’m impressed with your photography skills and the quality of your portraits.

Now, could you tell me about your approach to capturing the candid and emotional moments during elopements? How do you ensure that you can tell a compelling visual story for each couple’s special day?

 
User
I take the fly-on-the-wall approach and try not to intervene in moments whenever I can, my main goal is to not interrupt your joyous ceremony but to help you remember it how it was. I like to follow the couple throughout the day and let the couple guide the shoot in a way that feels the most natural to them, occasionally offering some slight adjustments to poses so that they have some beautiful pictures for their albums.
 
 
ChatGPT

Thank you for sharing your approach. It’s clear that you prioritize capturing authentic moments while allowing the couple to lead the way.

Could you also tell me about your experience with outdoor and destination elopements? Have you worked in various outdoor settings and are you open to traveling for destination elopements if needed?

 
User
Absolutely, I am most comfortable shooting outdoors because the sun is the best natural ring light! I have studied photography for several years so I am confident I have the right settings for every moment no matter the weather or lighting. Destination weddings are on my top priority for shooting so I am always excited to travel.
 
 
ChatGPT

That’s fantastic to hear! Your comfort with outdoor settings and willingness to travel for destination elopements align well with the needs of many couples looking for elopement photographers.

Next, can you tell me about your communication style and how you ensure that you understand and meet the expectations of the couples you work with? How do you handle client consultations and feedback?

 
User
Of course. I use email to deliver documents like contracts, links to photos and invoices, but prefer phone calls or meeting in person for consultation so I can really work with the couple to make their vision come to life.
 
 
ChatGPT

Thank you for sharing your communication approach. It’s great to know that you prioritize direct communication to understand and fulfill the couples’ visions.

Lastly, could you share your availability for the upcoming wedding season, and any specific locations or regions you are particularly interested in covering for elopements?

 
User
I am mainly looking to shoot weekends this upcoming season, but I am happy to work around my schedule to accommodate your needs. I’m open to shooting anywhere, but would love to do more shoots on the west coast!
 
 
ChatGPT

Thank you for providing your availability and preferences. Shooting on weekends and being flexible with your schedule is a plus, and your interest in the West Coast is noted.
