Make Creative Photos That Will Cost You Absolutely Nothing

To talk about creativity for just a bit, you have to acknowledge that creativity isn’t something you can just buy over the counter. Some of us, if we are lucky enough, are born with a certain amount of it, but the rest is just up to hard work, which is much in line with the fact that you can build your own luck with hard work (to some extent). Therefore, you have to take that creativity you already have to a higher level with a few simple means we are here to offer you. We hope you’ll find them useful!

The key

Camera

If you ever thought that successful photographers make exquisite pictures because they have cameras and lenses which you could never afford, you are wrong. The key to a creative, sensitive photograph are your eyes. As Helen Keller points out “The only thing worse than being blind is having sight but no vision.” This does not mean that you should start taking pictures of everything you see and find attractive, it’s about being patient and able to make that one perfect picture in the right moment. The amount of money invested in the “tool” you take your photos with can add up to the taste, but has minimal effect if you lack the ability to see.

How and where to achieve it

Taking a Photo

The best photos can be taken with your phone as long as you keep your creative sight glasses on. By downloading apps from the huge variety of them offered to you today, you can create wonders. You can even build stories of your special events such as road trips, birthdays, your kids’ first day at school etc. The Storries app offers combining audio and video and is a more than perfect way for you to keep your memories safe and sound for as long as you wish. You will never again have to say “Oh, I wish I could have captured that moment forever.” Another tip, don’t be lazy or shy. Don’t let laziness keep you away from making some of the best memories of your lifetime permanent. Also, if you see an interesting situation on the street, never let that shyness stop you from taking out your phone and capturing an elderly couple buying candy for their grandchildren in the street.

Seasonal photography

Colors of Autumn

Just another creative tip to get you going! If you label seasons as stops along the way to the next year, they will end before you even get a chance to prepare your wardrobe for the following season. Label every season of the year as your destination and make the best of it. Seasonal photography is all about connecting to nature and learning about the right time of the sunrise and sunset. In summer, you might want to visit the garden early and in autumn you want to make your best photos just before the sun sets. Spring and winter are the seasons which offer more than enough possibilities for you to create creative and colorful photos. Winter does offer more than enough white, but it’s up to you and your creativity to make a colorful composition even in December! Have fun!
