All the great photographers in the past and the present have done creativity at their core. There is a proven relationship between personality symptoms and creativity. Therefore, modifying your tasks can improve your photography.
We often focus on technical skills that we need as photographers. In fact, this is an important aspect. However, psychologists have identified symptoms and behaviors that creative people usually display, and we can learn from them.
Experience new things
Where I live, there is a high proportion of artists. They are all open to experiment and open to discovery of unfamiliar. Many people have traveled, not on the holiday of sausage-machine package, but with various cultures. Well, more than half of them have gone here from other parts of the country.
They want possibilities rather than neutrality and are comfortable to search for things that are unfamiliar to them.
The same thing applies to photographers. For example, if you describe yourself as a landscape photographer, you can expand your creativity by searching for wildlife, texture, or minute details. The novice photographer, filled with enthusiasm, will often detect various styles, finding how they overlap.
If we ever lose our drive to take pictures of the same things, we can re -establish our enthusiasm by trying to take a picture of different things outside our normal scope.
Improving and improving themselves is undoubtedly the purpose of everyone who picks up a camera. Successful photographers like all artists are engaged in learning for life. They pursue knowledge in a diverse category of regions, spread beyond their field of expertise.
What a day for the day
When I was a child, I will be pursued by my schoolgirls for a day -to -day day. Staring out of the window and removing my thoughts from worldly lessons helped to remove boredom. These days, the daydream is more positively seen as mental exercise that promotes innovation. Einstein, Newton, Dali, Lewis Carol, Emily Dicinson, and all others were inspired by the day of the day.
Away from being seen as laziness, Divasvapna is considered a form of mental drama that promotes innovation. Creativity often involves sudden insight which occurs during the daydream. Thus, new ideas for photography may emerge from a state of semi-awareness.
The most creative individuals often show patterns of brain connectivity separate from neurotipical people, especially in the default mode network (DMN), which is active during introspection and imagination, when you are not focused on the outside world. That part of the brain becomes active when you are quietly resting without any work. Brain scans have shown that it is active during attention and reflection, as well as imagining, contemplating, reminiscent and being creative.
Hypnagogia related to the daylight is. This is the transitional stage between waking and sleep, which can awaken new ideas. Put a pen and paper next to you so that you can reduce the thoughts arising out of your subconscious mind, can be beneficial, as the daytime, like their night counterparts, can get away quickly.
Believe nature as your true love
I often increase the properties of photography due to its benefits for mental health. It keeps using us forward. In addition, it is creative, thus giving us a sense of success. Photography is an arbitrary exercise that requires our brain to focus on creative work, which is free from the distraction of negative thoughts. We can also enter the state of flow. It is also a social practice; While photographed, people will come to talk (although it always seems as it is as it is as the sun is visible on the horizon, or the bird I want to take the photo is close). But, most importantly, it can find us out and in nature.
Being in rural areas, a forest is surrounded by trees, or on a deserted beach, not only improves the state of mind, but can also stimulate and promote innovation, flexible thinking and curiosity.
Contradiction of creative people
The heavenly eminent Hungarian American scientist, Mihli was a pioneer in Csikszentmihalyi (1934–2021), was a pioneer in creativity research. He said that creative people often symbolize contradictions in their personality.
- Creative individuals often have high level of physical energy, yet they also give importance to peace and calm reflections. Photographers are often physically active. They get up early to pursue light, perhaps climb to the right angle. But they can also spend hours in cool thinking, waiting for the right time.
- They are intellectually intensified while maintaining a sense of surprise of the child. Technical knowledge (camera settings, light, composition) require, photographers also benefit from looking at the world in a way as most people do not.
- They balance fickleness with discipline and both can be responsible and careless. Photography includes spontaneous creativity. However, it also requires systematic planning.
- Their minds make changes between vivid imagination and reality amidst a ground awareness.
- They demonstrate the symptoms of both introvertity and extrovertness based on this time.
- They are humble about their abilities, yet in their creative vision.
- They often cross traditional gender roles, embracing more liquid spirit of identity.
- They can be both unconventional and respect for tradition.
- They are deeply emotional about their crafts, yet they are able to see it with clear impartiality.
- Their emotional openness makes them sensitive to pain, but it also allows for intensive pleasure and satisfaction.
If you do not recognize yourself in those people, the good news is that they can be learned and cultivated. Creativity is not just a mysterious gift. Instead, this is a process that can be understood, nourished and transmitted through learning.
Benefits of deep inter-cultural experiences
In his work on creativity, Csikszentmihalyi found that creativity arises when individuals are contacted with various environment and approaches. Meanwhile, other scientists expanded it. William W. Madax, at the east reputed International School, Insead, with Adam Galinsky from Northwestern (now Columbia) University, found that deep intercultural relationships could promote creativity through exposure to diverse approaches. In addition, he found that being adapted to new cultures helps people develop cognitive flexibility and problems.
He said that the benefits did not come from just a different country’s journey, but by staying there, separating themselves in an ethnic community apart from themselves.
Why internet trolls are always failures
In contrast to the Internet troll, there is evidence for all of the above.
There are people whose actions we expect from a proper person. The Internet, especially photography discussion forums, prevails with them. His negative and often grip comments are a sign of very contrasting personalities that creative people display. These days, the nose of the Internet trolls is widely recognized and derived. As a result, their efforts to humiliate others simply reflect on themselves, not their victims. In addition, many fake personalities hide behind because they are embarrassed on themselves and are not ready to reveal the lack of their talent.
Have you ever come in a troll whose art is good? I did not.
Pass and cooperate on your knowledge
Unlike those who want to knock others, many best creative people are helpful. They play the roles of masters and teachers. Some people write books or make online materials to help others succeed. They share their knowledge, techniques and insights selflessly, especially with young or emerging artists. In addition, they are happy to help others succeed.
Imagine that you help one of them who goes to international success. When your name appears as his inspiration in his biography, this greatness will rub on you.
Creatives also collaborate with other artists, exchange ideas and approaches, so they both learn and teach each other.
Choose any great photographer, read their biography, or find the Internet, which advise or affect them, they are motivated in turn, and with whom they collaborated. You will find that, in almost every case, those factor are a major part of their life.
Will you be great
In photography, like any creative field, there are only a few photographers that go down in history, which is considered great on a scale worldwide. However, this does not mean that we all should not continue trying for greatness. It is worth pursuing all the awards to identify stimulation from their constant improvement, the pleasure of the creative process, and learning.
Putting symptoms and practicing creative people’s behavior will help you on the path we are all running.
