What is Creative Photography?
Creative Photography is about discovering new shapes, colors, dynamic range, distortions and maybe even a combination of all of them.
Creative photography can stimulate you to create impressive imagery. It will help take you to the next level.
It is important to remember that even the most expensive kit in the world won’t get you very far if your photography lacks creativity and flair.
The only limit to this kind of photography is your imagination!

Teach Yourself Photography from the author Lee Frost.
Lee is regarded as one of the world’s best-selling photography authors. It’s hard to put a figure on just how many copies of his books have sold, but apparently it’s well over half a million.
In December last year we prepared an e-book with a selection of Photo Tips & Assignments that have been published on a monthly basis since 2012.
They have been selected from the best of our Newsletter, reviewed and updated and include some of the winning photographs as well.
Some of you contacted us to make it available in the blog as well, so here is the link for download:

Since its advent, photography has seen many focusing methods:
There were fixed lenses with fixed focus, then the rangefinder-type of focusing, then the split screen focusing and finally came the “loved by all” Auto Focus.
Have you ever thought of opening your own photography business?
While for some it might be a goal very far away, there are people determined enough to, not only get there, but excel and become very successful.
Teresa Walton had a dream.
