Mini-Series Introduction: Where Creativity Comes From
Creativity is often seen as this mysterious, almost magical force—something that comes and goes without warning, sometimes leaving us waiting for inspiration that may never arrive. But for those of us who rely on creativity in our work, whether it’s in photography, tech, or any other field, we know it’s much more than that. Creativity is a skill, a process, and something that can be cultivated over time.
In this mini-series, we’ll explore the roots of creativity. We’ll challenge the myths surrounding it, dig into the practices that help nurture it, and discuss how limitations, reflection, and consistency all play a vital role in unlocking our creative potential. Whether you’re troubleshooting tech systems or capturing moments on the street, creativity isn’t about waiting for inspiration
it’s about developing habits, embracing challenges, and finding ways to innovate within constraints.
This series will break down how creativity manifests in the real world, revealing the often overlooked aspects that contribute to consistently producing meaningful, impactful work. Let’s uncover the process of creativity together, and see how you can apply these principles to whatever craft you pursue.
