Do we ever tire of shooting roses? I don’t. I especially like these old roses which are always so lovely.

This short article by Scott Bourne at PhotoFocus offers a great list of simple steps to take to improve your creativity. In sum,
The only suggestion I’d take issue with is the last one. I rarely think about what an image is going to look like at the end, after post, before I capture the image in the camera. As I’ve said many times, for me, getting the image in the camera is just the beginning of the creative process. Certainly when I look at a scene and make a decision to shoot something, there is often some nascent idea I have, or at least a sense that the scene has possibilities. But like the old saying – “I don’t know what I think until I’ve written it” – I often don’t know what I’m seeing or thinking until I’ve worked on an image in post and seen what emerges.
What do you think? Do you try to previsualize an image as a finished product when you shoot it? How do you foster a creative workflow?
