Enhancing creativity through the use of digital technologies
Essentially working in a two-dimensional medium, the outcomes of photography can be much broader than just a sheet of paper
There are compositional 'rules' which all photographers learn to apply and many go on to ignore, bend or rewrite
Rules of composition are there to help the photographer make a 'good' picture and the viewer to understand it
I am a photographer, I take, print, publish and exhibit photographs
I take photographs of a broad range of subjects, but specialise in reportage/street photography/candids/environmental portraiture
I have developed strategies for taking photographs of people which are unobtrusive and non-confrontational
I like to think that I can build up a good rapport with people who are aware of or have consented to being photographed
My images are creative - I look for unusual angles, points of view etc.
I often shoot to crop - none of this 'what you see in the viewfinder is sacrosanct' nonsense
I teach teachers how to make effective use of digital technologies to enhance creativity across the curriculum (but we won't go down that avenue right now)
