Creative Photography

The genres of creativity

As shown above, there are so many genres that fall with the spectrum of creative photography. From abstracts to infrared and time lapse photography, there will be at lease one you can try that will help you expand your knowledge or inspire you to move further with your photography journey.

Creative photography ideas

Some ideas to try: Water droplet art, photograph reflections at the beach using a mirror, zoom in on raindrops as they form a puddle on the ground, create out-of-focus bokeh using fairy lights, apply two polarising filters to your lens and cross-polarise a shot to see the results, try macro photography, photograph the rainbow colours of soap bubbles on water, use a mirror to duplicate any scene, try glass ball photography, create and shoot light trails using a light stick or torch. There are so many creative ideas you can try out to help bring the passion back into your work.

Challenge yourself

The genre of creative photography is about challenging yourself by experimenting with light and trying new ideas and concepts that you otherwise wouldn’t have used in your everyday photography. Creative photography can be about breaking out of the rule of thirds and using others such as centred compositions, symmetry, framing, the golden ratio, using negative space and more.
