Story behind the 14-Day Photo Creativity Challenge
After 20-years working in a technical area of photography, I didn't take photos personally and really disliked photography. This became apparent when my mum passed away and I tragically discovered only 6 photos over her last 9 years as my 3 kids grew up. It was then that I realised photos were a gift for others.
I suspended my prejudice toward the smartphone, took more photos of my family and myself. Surprisingly, I discovered a passion for taking photos of landscapes and flowers. I knew all the technical stuff; however, creativity and capturing those stunning photos was a real struggle. I didn't get it and was a real frustration until I shared a coffee with my professional photographer friend Kyle from 20West Photography. He explained that his creativity came from applying photography principles and guidelines to every photo.
I couldn't believe it, what I thought was my weakness could become my strength. A systematic approach to photography was the answer. The big AHA moment was thinking about how all the elements in the photo would attract, hold, guide or detract and viewer's attention and affect their experience. My results accelerated like never. My photos had a purpose, emotion, communicated something, they were special and meant something.

Frequently Asked Questions
| Do I need to a basic understanding of photography first? |
This challenge is designed to hold your hand and take you from basic concepts and exercises and build in complexity slightly. This is about encouraging you to try new things and get you motivated. This challenge assumes no prior knowledge.
| What if have an older phone, iPad or Tablet? |
That's ok. The only editing involved in this challenge is a basic crop and adding a vignette to an image. The recommended editing apps will work on any device. You do not need to wait until that flash new phone to take full advantage of this course. It is not about the camera. This challenge is not even about producing incredible, beautiful images. It is about experimenting with techniques and developing your creativity - not the photo result.
| Which apps do you use? |
The main apps you will briefly use are Snapseed and PicsArt (free accounts).
| How long will the challenge take? |
That is up to you. The challenge is intended to be 14-days to make it manageable and give you the best chance of completing it. Each activity is released each day. If you want access to everything in one sitting, (less than an hour) email me to unlock all the daily activities.
| Why not provide this challenge for free? |
Why am I not just giving this to you for free? Because we don't value what we get for free. How many free eBooks, guides and courses have you not even opened. I know I have quite a few! You need a bit of 'skin in the game'. When you purchase something, we value it more. Because I know you can get the results and fulfilment you desire, the best way forward is to invest in yourself.
