Creative Process
You are currently reading a thread in /p/ - Photography
What's the creative process when it comes to shooting photography? Is it all spontaneous? Or do you brainstrom an idea of what you want to photograph? I am a graphic designer and i haven't dabbled in fine photography where i am the composer and photographer.
My process is writing and brainstorming an idea that best expresses the message. Then i sketch and create.
Tl;dr? Who do i compose?

sometimes you go out and take a shot youve been thinking about
sometimes you just go out for a bit with no intentions and end up with gold
sometimes you see something when youre out youve seen similar photographs of and you copy it or try and improve it
just take pictures of whatever you want whenever you want
