Whenever I am taking photos, I try to take the time to see the subject I am photographing so I can get a feel of what I want to capture. What type of story do I want to tell? How do I want the viewer to feel? Why am I drawn to the subject? What important features do I want to emphasize? These are just a handful of questions I ask myself. By doing this, I am using my imagination to fuel my creativity. I don’t look at something and snap away. Instead, I spend time seeing my subject, getting a feel for it, which then fuels my creativity.
The next time you are out taking photos, try this. The more you see your subject, the more you will feel about your subject, thus fueling your creativity.
When I saw the way these two lilies opened in my garden, I knew I had to capture it. I love the way the lilies are posing with the little vine wrapped around them giving the sense of togetherness.
How do you let your imagination fuel your creativity?
