All photography is creative. The goal then is this:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How do we maximize and augment our creativity?<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

1. The image is not sacred<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
  • \"\"<\/figure><\/li>
  • \"selfie<\/figure><\/li>
  • \"selfie<\/figure><\/li>
  • \"\"<\/figure><\/li>
  • \"\"<\/figure><\/li><\/ul><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    The first thing to realize:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The image is not sacred.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

    A lot of photographers rhapsodize over images like they are some sacred object that should not be tampered with. Why this belief? My thought —<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Many artists aren’t religious, and they seek some religious affirmation (sacredness) in their arts-formation and creation.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

    This is why a lot of artists tend to cultivate zealot-like and cult-like personalities or thinking. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    2. Sketch and draw over your images<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
    • \"\"<\/figure><\/li>
    • \"\"<\/figure><\/li><\/ul><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

      A simple workflow:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      I look at my photos on Dropbox via my iPhone or iPad, and then I export images I like again to my device, and I screenshot and draw over the images I like. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
