CREATIVE PHOTOGRAPHY WORKSHOP

Would you like to learn how to create amazing photographs that make people say "Wow!"

Learn How to See Creatively
  Some people are born with a creative eye and take amazing photographs naturally. Unfortunately studies show only 1 out of 10 people are born with a creative eye. That means that 9 out of 10 people don't have a creative eye and need help.

 The good news is that I have invented a new way of teaching the creative side of photography that helps everyone learn how to see creatively.
  I have spent a lot  of time and energy to simplify creativity to 4 Creative Fundamentals: Composition, Angle, Lens Zoom and Lighting. Each creative fundamental has 3 Creative Choices. You can see them here in my 4 Creative Cards.

* Composition and Angle can come naturally but Lens Perspective and Lighting must be learned.

LEARN CREATIVITY LIKE MUSIC
  A friend told me that the way I teach visual creativity is like the way music is taught.
  Music combines 3 Notes into a Chord and 4 Chords into a Song.
  For photography I have combined 3 Creative Choices into a Creative Fundamental and 4 Creative Fundamentals into a Photograph.
  Guido D'Arezzo was a monk who lived in the Middle Ages who wrote out music into notes that can be learned and followed combining notes and chords.  I have created a way to teach visual learning combining creative choices and fundamentals.

  When playing the piano pressing one key creates a single note. How you combine the notes makes the difference. The secret to great photography is how you combine the creative choices. I teach creativity as individual creative choices which are as easy as pressing a single key on a piano.

INSPIRE – REVIEW - STUDY
Inspire Your Photographs: Use creative cards like grocery list to help you remember of your different creative choices when taking photographs.
Review Your Photographs: Use creative cards to help you review your photographs looking at the creative choices you made.
Study Other Photographs: Use creative cards to help you study other photographers work looking at the creative choices and creative combinations that they made when taking their photographs.
  If you like nature photography, study great nature photographers photographs. For travel study great photographs of the place you will be going to. You can learn from studying the creative choices that were made in great photographs.

CREATIVE STUDY'S
Mini, Medium, In Depth
  With some subjects, you may only take one photo, while with others, you’ll take 2 or 3 photos for a Mini creative study. If the subject is particularly interesting to you, take a Medium creative study of 4 to 6 photos or an In Depth creative study of 7 or more photos.

CREATIVE CHOICES WORK WITH ALL CAMERAS
Cell Phone Camera to Digital SLR & Mirrorless
  Learning how to see creatively works with all cameras. Developing your creative eye is the perfect camera accessory that will work every camera you will own for the rest of your life.

CELL PHONE PHOTOS
Boring or Beautiful Memories
  Cell phone photos are how you capture your life and share it with others. Would you rather send people boring or beautiful photos of your life?
  Would you rather capture boring or beautiful photos of your lifetime of memories of you and your family and friends? Developing your creative eye with my creative cards and workshop will help you create beautiful photographs to share and cherish.

CREATIVE CHOICES WORK WITH ALL SUBJECTS
Nature, Travel, People, Scenics....
  Developing your creative eye will help you create beautiful photographs and videos of any subject.

CREATIVE PHOTOGRAPHS & VIDEO
Create Beautiful Photographs and Videos
  Cell phones and digital cameras capture both photographs and videos. The creative choices and combinations you learn with my creative cards and workshop work with both.

Creative Photography is a Great Social Activity
Create Social Connections Outside of the House
  Creative photography is a great social activity that can get you out of the house and in places where you can meet other people.
  Instead of just standing around you can be looking for great subjects and combinations of creative choices to photograph. Taking photos can be an excuse to be there.
  Conversations may start about you photographing something and looking at different creative choices. You can show people images you have taken on your cell phone or camera to let them see how creative your photos are.

SHARING PHOTOS & STORIES: You can send your photos from your cell phone to family and friends. You can also tell the story of how you found your subject and the different creative choice combinations you tried to come up with the photograph.

ONLINE SHARING: You can share your photos online with photo sharing websites like Facebook and Instagram which creates social activity online. You may also want to tell the story behind the photo of how you found the subject and the different creative choices you used to photograph it.
  Always be respectful of other people. If someone asks you not to photograph something, politely say okay, smile and move on.

Creative Photography is a Great Healthy Brain Activity
  Creative photography helps you create amazing photographs and get a healthier brain at the same time. Just like dark chocolate tastes great and is good for you it’s a win, win.
  Creative photography helps you get a healthier brain 3 ways by increasing brain activity, physical activity and social activity.

1. Increase Your Brain Activity
  For your brain to exercise it needs unique challenges. Just walking around taking photos is not challenging for the brain. Looking at different creative choices and combinations of creative choices when photographing gives your brain a great workout.   

2. Increase Your Physical Activity

  Increased physical activity is good for your health but also sends more blood to the brain which is good for it. Getting up and moving around to photograph different subjects from different angles increases your physical activity. You can take photos indoors, outdoors and even take a road trip.

3. Increase Your Social Activity

  Social activity is very important for your brain. Going out and taking photos gets you out of the house and you have more of a chance to meet people. You can also do it as an activity with family members and friends.

Sharing Photos Online

  You can share your photographs on your Facebook page with family and friends around the world. You can also share your photos on photo sharing websites. Telling the story of how you took the photograph is great for social interaction as well.

Technical Settings Inside Camera
vs. Creative Choices in Front of Camera
  The secret to taking amazing photographs is not the technical settings inside the camera, it is the creative choices you make in front of the camera.
  There are two sides to photography. The technical side inside the camera and the creative side in front of the camera. Even if you know all the technical settings on a digital camera your photographs will still be boring unless you were born with a creative eye and make good creative choices.

Technically Okay but Creatively Boring
  A photograph can be technically good, not too light or too dark and in focus and still be boring if it has bad creative choices. You need great creative choices to create great photographs.
  A camera can be set on Auto. Creative choices can only be made by the photographer.
  Your creative choices, the angle you choose, where you place the subject in your photograph, how you crop and frame it, your lens perspective and lighting are what makes a photograph beautiful.
  Lighting by itself can make or break a photograph. Learning how to find and use great natural light will make an incredible difference in your photographs.

Two Separate Worlds
  Technical Camera Settings and Creative Choices are two separate worlds. There is no camera setting that will change your camera angle from a low to a high angle. Creative choices are outside a cameras technical controls.

Tech Dad & Creative Daughter
  I was talking with a man who owned a fancy digital camera, who said he knew all the technical settings on it but his photos were boring.
  He said when his 18 year old daughter borrowed his camera she put it on Auto and took amazing photographs. The difference is she was born with a natural creative eye and spent her time concentrating on her subject not the camera settings.
  A photograph can be technically good, not too light or too dark and in focus but still be boring if it has bad creative choices. Technical settings can be set on Auto. Creative choices can only be made by the photographer.

Cooking School Disaster

  Imagine going to a cooking school and having the chef tell you that to bake a cake ingredients don’t matter. All that matters is that you set the time and temperature in the oven so your cake is not over or under cooked. You can put in any ingredients you want like 2 cups of salt or a teaspoon of salt. Ingredients don’t matter.
  This would make no sense. In the same way your creative choices are the ingredients you need to create amazing photographs.

A Recipe Without Ingredients

  In cooking, a recipe has 3 parts. 1. The ingredients, 2. How to mix the ingredients and 3. The time and temperature settings.
  Imagine finding a recipe that has no ingredients, no instructions on how to mix the ingredients and only the oven time and temperature. Here you can see a recipe with ingredients and mixing instructions and a recipe with only time and temperature. 

Creative Choices Photography Recipe

  In the same way you need creative choices as ingredients and mixing instructions for them to create amazing photographs.
  In photography the recipe for a photograph has 3 parts. 1. Creative Choices, 2. Instructions for Mixing/Combining Creative Choices and 3. Technical settings.
  In the first photo recipe you can see Creative choices and Mixing Instructions for them. In the second Photo recipe the only thing you see are the technical settings. 
  Often technical settings are emphasized and the creative choices are forgotten. My creative cards and workshop are very visual making them easier to understand and faster to learn.

Cooking Show Disaster 

  Imagine a person in a cooking show competition setting their dish down in front of the chef judge. When the chef judge sees it they say it looks terrible, when they taste it and it tastes terrible.
  The person tells the judge they are concentrating on the wrong things. The important thing is that the dish was not undercooked or over cooked. How the dish looks and tastes is not important. The ingredients were not important. A teaspoon of salt or cup of salt didn't matter. Only the cooking time and temperature matter.
  This would make no sense. In the same way your creative choices are the ingredients you need to create amazing photographs.

Professional Photographer, Instructor and World Traveler
  My experience as a professional photographer with clients from IBM to Proctor & Gamble as well as fashion photography in Vogue, author of best selling photography books, photography workshop instructor, inventor of patented photography equipment and world traveler have all gone into making DEVELOP YOUR CREATIVE EYE an amazing photography workshop.  
  I’ve taught photography to people from ambassadors at the United Nations to high school students at national journalism conventions. I also teach Digital Camera, Exposure, Adobe Photoshop, Lightroom and other photo software workshops.
  I put the lessons I learned the hard way into this workshop to help you learn the easy way and much faster. In addition to my years of experience I spent a lot of time and energy putting this workshop together with lots of photographs and illustrations to help you learn visually.  

1. Creative Cards
  A great way to quickly improve your photographs.  
2. Creative Workshop
  Take your photography to a new level with more in depth learning about creativity.
3. Three Workshop Bundle
  Learn the creative side of photography as well as exposure and digital camera settings.  

DEVELOP YOUR CREATIVE EYE WORKSHOP
  There are a whole lot of things that I learned about creativity the hard way that I am putting in this workshop to help you learn the easy way and much faster.
  The Develop Your Creative Eye workshop will give you a much deeper understanding of creative photography and take your photography to a whole new level.
  Learning how to see creatively it is a lifetime skill that will help you create amazing photographs of any subject from nature to travel, family, pets and any subject you like to photograph.
  Learning how to see creatively is also your best camera accessory. Your creative eye will work with every camera you own for the rest of your life from cell phone cameras to point & shoot cameras, expensive digital cameras and video cameras.
Your Choice: Boring or Beautiful Photographs
    Would you like to be known as a creative person? Would you like to add some creative fun to your life? Would you like to create a lifetime of boring or  beautiful photographs? You can keep taking photos that are boring or learn how to take beautiful photographs that family and friends will admire and look forward to seeing.

Study/Review/Refresh
    Studies show that people forget 80% of what they learn in an in person workshop within 2 weeks. In teaching, they say a student must go over the same material at least 8 times to understand it. Having this workshop on your computer lets you go over the material as many times as you need to.
  If you do take a photography workshop in person, taking this workshop first will make you one of the smartest people in the class.

Take at Your Own Pace
      You can take my workshop at your own pace, learning a section, taking a break and then going on to the next section. Sometimes when you don’t use something every day you can forget some of it.
  Once you download this workshop you can review it for years to come as a refresher when important events come up even 5 or 10 years from now. Once you learn how to see creatively you will never look at the world the same way again.

The Power of Creative Combinations
  Simple Creative Choices Combine into Powerful Creative Combinations: Some people look at the simplicity of the creative choices and think they aren’t important.
  The impact of each creative choice is powerful and the combination of all the creative choices together in a photograph is even more powerful. Learning how to combine creative choices helps people learn to think creatively by combining different choices together into different combinations of choices. 

Very Visual Workshop
  My Develop Your Creative Eye Workshop is very visual with lots of comparison photographs and illustrations to make it easier to understand. There are also assignments for each chapter that you can do to help you learn.
