It is always an honour when you’re asked to teach on a subject you’re passionate about. So when I was approached by Click Photo School to ask if I could work on something on creativity I took a deep breath and said YES! Why the deep breath? Because creativity is something so deeply ingrained in us, and is such a huuuuuuge topic I had to ponder a moment on it. I mean where do you start?

So I started with what I know best – making it part of our everyday. Before we even lift a camera, before we think of composition, or lighting, or setting and story. We need to weave creativity into our lives. Now, I believe we are all creative, no matter what any of us may have been told, but we are all unique in our creativity, which means teaching it is a huge task. Instead I believe that we can nurture it, encourage it, nudge it to be set free, in our daily lives, and onwards to infuse into our photography.

And so “Creativity on the Fly” was born – as a follow up to my much loved previous guide “Photography on the Fly”. POTF was a guide to becoming intuitive in photography, and this new guide is a stage deeper, a dive into being creative in our lives, and then layering that into the images we make from the lives that we live and the unique ways that each of us see. It’s not a lightning bolt of a class – it’s a slow infusion, hopefully with a bunch of aha moments along the way.

I could not be more proud to launch this into the world. It comes with a huge chunk of my heart and soul embedded right in there along with a holding hand for your own creative journey.

A guide to infusing creativity into your days, and your photography

If you’re looking to infuse more creative depth into your images this self paced course will help by digging into creative practices and guiding you to be more in tune to opportunities in your every day. You will feel more intuitive in your artistic vision with heightened awareness to layer richness into your photographic storytelling.

You’ll come away with:

There are personal notes spaced throughout to share experiences. There are exercises to grow your creativity. And throughout there’s my hand on your shoulder, nudging you along, deeper into your creativity. Some days it can be a struggle, I know. The last 2 years have been rough and have sucked the drive to document our everyday from us, but this is the time to rise up, to embrace our creativity again and not let it slip through the cracks.

I can’t wait to have you join me,

much love, Kirsty xx
