Creativity and Photography

Words, and pictures, exercises, videos…and inspiration.



 “Photographers don’t need to hope that Creativity will turn up. It’s there in all of us all the time. It’s something we are,” says photographer, writer, and teacher Sean Kernan.

Kernan’s book offers ways to get to creativity for photographers at all levels, bright beginner to jaded professional. It gives assignments that stimulate your visual imagination and change your pictures. These simple exercises engage your creativity and reclaim your discovery process, bringing back the excitement of that first time you took a photograph that was way beyond anything you thought you could do. 

Through guided steps, you transform classic photographic concerns – focus, composition, portraiture, and backgrounds – into a whole-body experience of awareness. This radical approach leads to deeper seeing and to photographs that are more awake and alive.
