Photography is my creativity

Have you ever thought to yourself that you aren’t creative? Or even said it out loud maybe?
I have done both. I’ve always thought of myself as uncreative. Thought that I’m not the type of person who is artistic, can draw or paint beautiful landscapes, create music, or write novels, etc.
Something changed my perspective this past week however, and it was in something someone said – “Since you are created by a Creator [God], then you are creative”. In other words, since we were created in the image of the Creator, then it obvious that we too have it within us to be creative and create.
I thought this person had a very valid point.
Photography, is also art. It is a form of creativity. You don’t have to be a professional photographer to be creative, it just happens. Some people may be able to compose a photograph better than others, some may capture light better than others, some may photograph landscapes, while others may photograph people. Either way, you are using your creativity in some form or fashion.
Though you always take pictures of something God has created (whether it is a landscape, a person, or some objects created by a person created by God), you’re creating a composition and in some way creating a photograph.
Pretty cool thought, huh?
I think so.
So don’t ever think you are not creative. Photography is my creativity.
