THE BIG IDEAS

•  Create From Emotion, Not Imitation: Your most powerful images come from what you genuinely feel, not from copying others. Channel what’s inside you to create authentic art.
• Embrace Your Unique Story: Your life experiences are irreplaceable content for your photography. Use them to craft images that no one else can replicate.
• Seek Less Input, Start Sooner: You’re more ready than you think—don’t wait for perfection. Limited resources and basic knowledge are often enough to begin making an impact.
• Constraints Fuel Creativity: Boundaries—whether client needs or equipment limitations—can actually spark deeper creative solutions. Use them as a springboard for innovation.
