Guess what? Today, we're diving into something super cool and a bit geeky, but its popped up in a few conversations today so I thought I might share as it is oh-so-relevant to what we do here at Dora Jean Creation in our imagemaking. Ever wondered why some images just stick with you, or why you can't help but hit that 'share' button? let me introduce you to our brain's very own hype-man: dopamine! yes I know theres a lot of talk about it lately but guess what? It's also got everything to do with how we remember , replay, recall and connect imagery and music and moments and maybe even training videos.

I just had a meeting on finance and believe it or not we discussed the power of scent also, how stores use it and how it makes us buy. So, let's take a little adventure into the world of dopamine delights, guided by none other than yours truly and the incredible work of Dora Jean Creation.

Imagine dopamine as that awesome DJ at the best party you've ever been to, getting everyone on their feet and making the night unforgettable. In the world of online scrolling and swiping, dopamine is what makes us feel all the good vibes when we see something truly amazing. It's the secret sauce that keeps us coming back for more, craving those visual feasts and soulful beats. Tik Tok is the king of dopamine at the minute. but what about the training world or office space or even spotify.

Now, enter the stage, Dora Jean Creation - not just any artist, but a photographic designer who's like a wizard at capturing moments that make your brain dance with joy. Think of your favorite track , one that you can't help but play on repeat because it just feels so darn good, or that video of the man falling down the icey stars that you keep replaying and laughing harder then you probably shold. That's dopamine in action, folks!

So, how does this magic happen? Simple! It's all about creating images that don't just catch your eye but tug at your heartstrings and tickle your brain cells in all the right ways. our aim is to master this by mixing vibrant colors, stunning compositions, and that sprinkle of movement and mystery that on occassion makes you wanna dive into the picture. It can be like a visual concert, where every element is perfectly tuned to make your dopamine levels hit the high notes.

And here's the kicker for us in the art and music biz: understanding this dopamine dance can totally revolutionize how we connect with our audience. By crafting experiences that aren't just seen or heard but truly felt, we create those unforgettable encores that keep our fans coming back for more. tik tok does this by adding filters, you get a dopamine hit each time you add that bold glamour filter or the dog ear filter

Please let me start my saying I have no intention of giving away the enjoyment I get from photography to Ai. I am however more than happy to use it as a tool to support me and give me quick answers just as I would on You tube or google. In fact you may see that Google is having a mini freak as the first time in 20 years it no longer has full dominant power in the 'gimme the answer' market. They have BARD as its ai version of CHAT GPT and I must say they appear very similar, perhaps Bard is CHAT GPT? This is an incredibly exciting time to be empowered by artificial intelligence to boost and improve your photographic skills. We will have a look at the image generators too but for now I have found it is all about the language and how you ask the questions with Ai including CHAT GPT

Extract from a chat on social. we explore the exciting world of visionary photographic design and how artificial intelligence (AI) is revolutionizing the creative process. We plan to demonstrate how AI can be used as a powerful tool to enhance and transform photographic design, allowing artists and designers to explore new creative avenues and push the boundaries of traditional photography. throughout the year we will be working through real-world examples and step-by-step demonstrations, you'll learn how AI can be used to create stunning visual effects, generate new ideas and concepts, and achieve unparalleled levels of precision and detail. Whether you're a seasoned photographer looking to explore new techniques or a budding artist interested in the latest trends in creative design, this video is sure to inspire and inform.

Hey there, welcome to my video! Today I'm here to talk with you guys about identifying your personal strengths and setting yourself up for success.

Are you ready to make the most out of life and reach your full potential? Let's start by talking about the importance of identifying your personal strengths.

For me, one of my personal strengths is photography. I love capturing memories and moments that I can hold onto forever. It allows me to express my creativity and my emotions in a way that I can't with words. It's a way for me to express myself in a tangible form.

Another strength of mine is planting the seed of ambition and willing to take risks. I'm not afraid to take a chance and go for something that I want - because I know there will be a reward for me in the end. I'm constantly setting goals for myself, both small and large, so that I can stay on track with pushing myself further.

And lastly, my most important strength is having faith in myself and not being afraid of failure. Everyone makes mistakes and the best part is that we can learn from them. If we don't try, we'll never know what we are capable of. Have faith in yourself and know you can do whatever you set your mind to achieve!

Those are just a few of my personal strengths, but there are so many more out there that are unique to each individual. Take some time to really think about what your personal strengths are and how you can use them to set yourself up for success.

So don't be afraid to embrace your strengths and use them to reach your goals. I know it's easier said than done, but you can do it. Good luck and get out there and make your dreams come true!

Hey everyone! Jeanie here from Dora Jean Creation .com. Today we’ll be discussing how to regain your creative confidence as a photographer. Life can sometimes take a toll on our creative abilities, leaving us feeling like our creative spark is gone. But don’t worry - I’ve got some tips to help you get your creative mojo back!

First, take a step back and remind yourself why you’re doing this. We all create art in order to express ourselves, it’s part of who we are. Remind yourself of the high-level goal and the why behind it.

Next, if you’re lacking inspiration, there are plenty of places to look for it. Youtube, Instagram, magazines - there are so many unbelievable artists out there that can spark our creativity. Follow those who ignite something inside of you and draw inspiration from them to push yourself further.

Another great tip is to keep a journal. Jotting down ideas as they come to you is a great way to express yourself creatively and it also allows you to look back later and gain inspiration from what you’ve written.

Finally, don’t be afraid to step outside of your comfort zone. Trying something new can be scary but it’s essential to creative growth. Explore different techniques and styles and see what speaks to you most. You never know what you may discover!

There you have it, 4 tips to help you regain your creative confidence as a photographer. Remember - creating art is meant to be a fun and enjoyable experience, not something that causes additional stress or pressure in life. So take a step back, be inspired by others and don’t forget to have fun!

Welcome! Are you struggling to find your footing as a creative photographer? Well, you’ve come to the right place. My name is Jeanie and I’m here from Dora Jean Creation .com to help you nurture your seed by showing up – no matter what.

You may be anxious to take amazing photographs right away, but the truth of the matter is that it takes practice. So, don’t give up if your first few shots aren’t magazine-perfect. That’s perfectly normal.

With that in mind, I suggest embracing the importance of just showing up — no matter how imperfect your first shots may be. Get to know your equipment and familiarize yourself with its capabilities. You never want to be learning your settings on the job. You need to own that equipment and hone your skill-set in order to truly capture amazing photographs.

Developing your photography skills is a process, and some days will be better than others. Keep a consistent effort in and ignore any lingering feelings of anxiety or doubt. Eventually, you’ll be stunned at the way in which your creativity takes shape.

Also, don’t forget the importance of networking. Having powerful connections will go a long way when it comes to publicizing your photography skills and elevating your career. Plus, it’s always a good idea to learn from others who have been in the industry for a while. Ask yourself: What have they done, and how can I improve upon it?

Most importantly, stay true to your artistic vision. You’re in control of your destiny, so take charge and don’t be afraid to express yourself. The journey of becoming a creative photographer may be intimidating, but remember – showing up is half the battle.

So happy shooting! Don’t forget to bring your A-game everywhere you go, and always remain confident in the vision you have for your photography career. It’s only a matter of time before you start creating beautiful, timeless pieces of art.
