Las Vegas Portrait, Beauty, Boudoir and Cultural Photography
Creativity. The need to create. It’s a strong force. For me, and I’m sure many of you, if I go for too long without creating anything, life becomes very flat; grey; blah. Is it like that for you? I want to share a quote with you that I read recently. (actually you’ve already read it …
Vision, imagination and creativity – the most important tools in the photographer’s toolbox. Always has been, always will be. These tools are the reason why a photographer might be able to make an amazing image with the cheapest gear. The strongest photos come from what’s between our ears and in our hearts.
