Saturday, Sept. 8 Opening Day Presentation “Creativity and How to Boost Your Creative Abilities to Become a Better Photographer” by Joe Edelman

Join us for our Opening day festivities on Sept. 8th. Our presenter will be Joe Edelman. We will also have a raffle and a light luncheon. Join us in Room 327/399 at 9:45am.

If we all have the potential to be creative, why is it so hard? For starters, many of the ways that we traditionally learn photographic techniques are creativity killers.
We will begin by looking at the science behind creativity. Where does it come from? Are humans born with it or do they learn it? Is it possible to make yourself more creative? The answers from research done by cognitive psychologists will surprise you, frustrate you, and excite you.

Armed with a better understanding of how creativity works, Joe will help you lay the foundation to be able to develop more creative skills and become a better, more creative photographer, with tips that will help you to see and think about your subjects in ways that you never have before.
