Creativity in Photography (By Keith Neighbors)

Ask yourself this question,"Can I be a creative photographer." I believe you can be with some good instruction. Learning to create is an act of effort. Everything we do requires some of it. So how much effort will you put into becoming a great photographer. I have been at it for years and I still need practice.

We all took art classes in school, maybe some woodshop or metalworking. Remember how we worked on learning to mix watercolors with only three primary colors of red, yellow, and blue. We created the whole spectrum of colors to create our paintings. Photography is similar except we use light and its different hues to take great pictures. The colors are already there. So being creative is inside you and some of you may need to re-learn this. How much effort will it take to be creative again..!

All of us know that to educate ourselves in an art form requires we learn certain time tested rules. So unless we have a mentor we are at a definite loss and our learning curve gets really crooked. Sometimes we just don't get what we need from a library. Ebooks are written by very experienced person who has a great deal of knowledge to share and would be interested in mentoring you. They sometimes collaborate with another experienced photographer to create a wonderful course for a lot less money than some schools who want you to come to class. That is something I can do without and I am sure you feel this way as well.

These people who are photographers teach us from the comfort of our home, when we have the time to learn to be creative. we learn how to compose a shot, framing, F-stops, lenses, filters, lighting. Then we remember to be creative.

The ebook that I would recommend to you at my link below covers outdoor/Indoor photography, portraits, events, group photos, and weddings.Is called "How to Photograph weddings, groups, events, and portraits." It is a great information product to improve your creativity http://theneighborhood08.blogspot.com
