Understanding Creativity
Program Summary
Creativity is often treated like a mysterious talent that some photographers have and others do not. In reality, creativity is a process that can be understood and developed. Many photographers struggle not because they lack ideas, but because they do not understand how creative thinking actually works.
In this presentation, award-winning photographer and educator Joe Edelman explains the science and psychology behind creativity and shows photographers how to break through common creative roadblocks. Participants will learn practical ways to generate ideas, approach their photography with greater intention, and develop habits that lead to more original and meaningful images.
