Just thought I would put these shots up that I have created for a flyer. I was asked to produce some images for a conference based on the theme “Doors of Opportunity”. The door in the shot actually inspired the speaker to come up with the theme. One of my all time fave models, Alliee, helped me out to create the images. I, also, did the graphic design for the flyer but as this is a photography blog I’ll leave that out : )

I love being able to interpret people’s vision and it is so awesome when, as a creative, I get the freedom to work through and create the end result. At first I had a hard time visualising the shots and the ideas were sparce…at first I started with the design but it wasn’t until the conversation with the creative director (the speaker) until things started to gel together. After trying a few ideas, with no satisfaction, we went for a drive to this location. Once there I was able to easily visualise what was needed. I even said to her on the phone, “if that was the door that inspired you, perhaps we should use that!”.

Well, all said and done, I think we created what was needed and the shots have come out great. Never be scared to throw ideas around in your head, put them on paper, or tell other people. They might not fly but at least your creative process has been started. Within the process you will be able to work through any problems and issues you might have. It is only through that process that the final execution will take place. Yes, the final completion is important but unless you start, then apply process, you cannot achieve a final result. This, of course, applies in all fields of creativity.

The next few weeks have a lot of cool opportunities coming up. Get hooked up on twitter or facebook and you will find out the details as soon as I know them!

Be remarkable, with your work, your friends and whatever you are passionate about!!
