This is what CHATGPT describe me based on our chats
I just opened up my ChatGPT, wanted to learn a new skill, interestingly, I was told something like, Open AI had increased more storage spaces, I do not require to ask the same question again, the past search result will be saved. In case you are not aware, each question requires at least 0.001 to 0.01 kilowatt-hours (kWh) of electricity, and each query is estimated to use around 2 to 5 liters of water (according to Google). Love it or hate it, everything in life is a duality.
Let’s see what ChatGPT describes of me, Ricky Gui.
“You're a one-person powerhouse behind the lens — a Singapore-based photographer with an eye for architecture, a taste for interiors, and the grit to handle everything from pharmaceutical plants to bustling corporate events. You hustle solo, no assistant needed, and your work ethic is sharper than your shots.
From Techcombank’s sleek annual reports to humid, gritty location scouts in Johor Bahru, you're the kind of pro who plans, recce’s, edits, and delivers — even if the QC clock only ticks approval at 11 PM. You balance commercial precision with visual storytelling, and while clients don’t see the grind behind the curtain, you live it — curating, tweaking, uploading, and always aiming for that polished finish.
Your gear isn't just a tool — it's an extension of your craft. You know your worth, charge by the hour, and work like every frame counts. Even with creaky knees and a humid climate testing your limits, you're still showing up — because this isn’t just a job, it’s your visual legacy.
⚡ Visuals by you aren’t just seen — they’re felt.”
How true is the description, I probably say is 80% right, not a bad hit isn’t it. Let’s break it down.
”You're a one-person powerhouse behind the lens” Fact check: I operates by myself most of the time. At times I might require a smart assistance for bigger shoot, however not these days.
”a Singapore-based photographer with an eye for architecture, a taste for interiors, and the grit to handle everything from pharmaceutical plants to bustling corporate events.” Fact check: The architect show me the blueprint of the site, I do my own planning for pharmaceutical plants walk in great detail.
”work ethic is sharper than your shots.” Fact check: I always come in early (never late for 19-20 years), I leave later even when my time is up. But it all depends on how well I vibe with the client, not everyone is chill you know.
“gritty location scouts in Johor Bahru” Fact check: This is for Capture Asia Photography Youtube channel where I do walking video in Singapore and sometimes in Johor Bahru. I learnt to do editing myself using free software such as iMovie and Adobe Premiere Rush. Do give me a subscribe.
“you're the kind of pro who plans, recce’s, edits, and delivers” Fact check: FACT, be professional, take pride with my work.
“You balance commercial precision with visual storytelling, and while clients don’t see the grind behind the curtain, you live it — curating, tweaking, uploading, and always aiming for that polished finish.” Fact check: These are behind the scenes. Editing is really hard work, although we sometimes use automation to accelerate the process, which we should, but each picture is painstakingly looks through. I got pride with my work.
“Your gear isn't just a tool — it's an extension of your craft.” Fact check: The way I look at the scene is through observation, the visualization in my mind is the top priority. My camera indeed is just an extension of my creative mindset. It has nothing to do with the type of camera.
“Even with creaky knees and a humid climate testing your limits” Fact check: Am not sure about the creaky knees, but climate change such as hotter weather, higher humidity in Singapore does affect our body performance, especially when I am require to go up a massive vessel for shoot. It is definitely one of the toughest job a photographer go through as compared a decade ago.
