Well I suppose if you forget to put film in your camera, you can't be creative either.
There are certain very basic requirements one has to get right before one can begin to make creative pictures using a camera. For a start, one has to have a camera. If it's a film camera, one needs to have film in the camera. It also helps greatly to remove the lens cap before attempting to be creative, although that might not always be absolutely essential.
I bracket my shots to assure I get the right exposure.
Bracketing shots is fine when the subject is static. If the subject is moving, it can be too much of a 'hit and miss' affair. The shot that is preferred with regard to the expression on the subject's face, might be the overexposed shot with blown highlights on the face and/or loss of cloud detail in the background. The ideal exposure might be the last one in the bracketed sequence when the subject just happened to blink and is portrayed with closed eyes.
Alternatively, the best exposure out of the 3 or 5 bracketed shots might be the one with the slowest shutter speed that has resulted in significant blurring.
You can have a perfectly exposed picture with no content, no creativity.
One really can't have a perfectly exposed picture with literally no content. A picture with no content is not a picture. Even a picture taken without the lens cap removed, is still a picture. It's called a black frame. On screen or print it would fit into the category of modern Color Field art, a plain black square with a few bright speckles from stuck pixels and perhaps a hint of banding streaks, all nicely framed to catch the attention of the viewer when mounted on a pale cream wall.
"Wow! Such gorgeous, deep blacks, and those speckles make me think of the outer galaxies and the more distant stars that are hardly visible on a clear night."
