Do you know you have a creative voice but just haven't found it yet? Or maybe you want to express that voice anew? Feeling nervous about taking that leap? Rick Allred is your guide for a five-day adventure in going beyond documenting your world to discovering practices that strengthen your creative vision.
For you, that might mean improving your travel photography, your portraits, or simply the way you see the world. When you give yourself the time and permission to explore, practice, and play, ordinary scenes become fertile zones of creativity that reveal your unique perspective.
Rick introduces practices and techniques that help you generate ideas and integrate them into your imagery. To that end, we engage in assignments exploring motion, controlling light and exposure, and deepening the creative voice. Ultimately, it's all about lightening our hearts, relaxing our minds, and picking up our cameras, even when we feel stuck.
Quite often people say, “I don’t have a creative bone in my body.” But they do—and it’s in the finger that pushes the shutter button. They also have a heart and a pair of eyes. Put them all together and you have exactly what you need to create distinctive images.
SPECIAL OFFER: Take the next step and create beautiful fine-art inkjet prints of the images you make with Rick!
