Program – Ice Cream Social, Creativity Boost and Photo Shoot
Visitors are welcome to attend this free event.
A creative photo isn’t just a picture – it’s a spark. It’s a wild mind and a disciplined eye, seeing the ordinary world in an extraordinary way, and capturing that vision to share with others. Whether it’s a surprising angle, a playful use of light, or a composition that breaks the rules, creativity is about finding that ‘something different’ that makes your photo stand out.
We’ll explore how to infuse creativity into your photography through techniques like:
- Mindful Observation: Truly seeing the scene in front of you, uncovering hidden details and possibilities.
- Intentional Additions: Enhancing your vision by deliberately incorporating elements that elevate the composition.
- Playful Experimentation: Embracing the joy of trying new approaches and pushing creative boundaries.
Most importantly, we’ll learn to evaluate our work by asking:
- Is it unique or interesting?
- What specifically makes it stand out?
- Where does creativity shine in the supporting elements?
Because ultimately, the goal is to have fun and create photos you’re proud of!
