The Idea Factory is designed to help you discover a never ending source of ideas while you expand your toy photography skills. As we progress through the various challenges we will also take a deep dive into why we create. What is the source of each persons individual inspiration.
We'll Explore
Each week I will provide you with a photo challenge based on a particular skill or story telling technique. The resulting photos are presented to the group for feedback and reflection.
The goal of The Idea Factory is to explore:
- Where ideas come from.
- How to connect deeply with your audience.
- New toy photography techniques.
- The creative journey and what might be standing in your way.
- How to jump start your creativity.
Personal Enrichment
Sharing the images that are created is an integral part of growing as a photographer. Understanding how your creative ideas land and how to push each image a little farther is how we grow as artists. My groups are safe and supportive to ensure that everyone feels heard and seen.
We will explore the following ideas and skills:
- Choosing a toy that reflects you.
- Motion
- Special Effects
- IP crossovers and mash-ups.
- Use of color to elicit an emotion.
- Self portraiture through the lens of toy photography
