Creative Photo Walking: Foster Creativity and Master Your Camera
Offered By: Skillshare
Course Description
Overview
Discover the power of photo walking to cultivate creativity, mindfulness, and appreciation of the physical world around you!
Like many creatives around the world, Sean struggled heavily during 2020. Feeling uninspired and in a creative rut, Sean started taking walks around his neighborhood with his camera in hand. These photo walks helped him reignite his creative flame, and got him back into the habit of taking photos daily. Today, Sean uses daily photo walks as a form of creative self care, and attributes much of his current success to the benefits he receives from these walks.
In this 50 minute course Sean guides you through your first photo walk. He starts with discussing the benefits of a photo walk, as well as how to open your mind to see beauty in the simple things around you. You'll also follow Sean on one of his daily photo walks in Bali, Indonesia where he will walk you through some of the photos he captures and provide insight into his creative process.
After shooting in the field, you will return to the studio for a quick lesson on editing some of the images captured during the walk.
Each lesson is packed with examples and stories to keep you engaged. Plus, you'll get an inside look into Sean's creative photo walk process.
Whether you're a beginner photographer looking to improve their photography skills, or just someone who wants to practice self care through an effective form of creative therapy, this course will guide you through you through completing your first photo walk and help you get your creative flame firing.
