Finding your creative mojo

I like to play with random photos in Photoshop to spark some creativity.  Layers, textures and random actions.  Just play.

Finding a way out of a photography/creative rut can be difficult. Ruts are going to happen.  It is just a part of the creative process.  I have been researching how to get out of creative ruts for years. I think it is different for everyone.  Knowing yourself is half of the battle.

Ask yourself some questions:

1.     What music do you listen to when you create?

2.     What famous photographer inspires you the most?

3.     What photographer on Instagram/Flickr inspires you the most?

4.     Do you like black and white or color photography?

5.     What is your favorite movie?

6.     What is your favorite place close to home?

7.     What is your favorite place in your home?

8.     What makes you the happiest?

9.     Other than photography what other hobbies do you have?

1.    What do you do to pamper yourself?

Steps I take to inspire creativity:

1.     Take care of my responsibilities first thing in the morning

2.     Exercise

3.     Plan my day include creative and pamper time

4.     Turn on music

5.     Let my creative juices flow

What do you do to get out of creative ruts?
