Creativity can be learned

68% of education majors say creativity is something you can learn (Adobe Creativity & Education Research). Unfortunately, many people grow into adulthood thinking that creativity is something that only those with money or an "arty" background can have. Even worse, they often believe that all creative outlets require natural talent and exceptional skills learned over many years.

 

Clearly, a painter needs to know the intricacies of various painting methods and a seamstress certainly needs to have an intimate knowledge of threads, needles. But you don't need to spend 10,000 hours learning to be a creative and lateral thinker. We can start that process after just one course with us!

Photography is an easy way to learn to be creative

There is one area of creativity where excellent skills are not required before getting good results; that area is photography. Anyone can be creative with a camera and get terrific images instantly. Photography is the democratization of creativity in a tiny box.

 

There is no rocket science in getting great shots; it's hugely about where you point your lens. After that, we just need to let the camera do most of the heavy lifting. The fundamental elements of photography are easily taught to people at all levels, no matter their background.

My teaching methods gets results - fast!

​I have been passionate about teaching photography and creativity for over 30 years. During that time, I have taught over 20,000 people how to capture the world around them in an interesting way. This experience has helped me create simple, well-thought-out instruction methods, using straightforward language supported by clear diagrams and illustrations.

 

My unique teaching system empowers people to use photography to help bring out their creative streak and be good at it! Click here to read more about how I do things.
