Creativity
Creativity is inherent in the human condition. It is the evolution that humanity has suffered since its inception and marks its future. There are different ways to define creativity, but all of them revolve around the generation of original and innovative ideas as a fundamental part of the creative process.
Contents
Creative process (Logbook)
An important tool in the creative process is the logbook. Making an analogy with the logbook, the photographer notes or pastes in a notebook, all those events, ideas, concepts, cuts, situations, etc. In short, everything that catches your attention and that is the subject of your interest. The logbook becomes a method within the creative process, which can serve the photographer to generate original ideas, on which he will work.
You will also see other strategies and techniques, with which you want to provide the photographer with the way to get ideas that are valid within the process of photographic creation.
Creation of speech in photography
In photography, author photography is increasingly being established, that which defines a style based on a story or discourse that relates the photographer to his work. The author is identified by making use of a particular technique, or to portray a subject that becomes common in a good part of his works or by the composition or format he uses on a recurring basis.

Creation of the speech (Statement)
The main tool or means of communication available to the artist to address his audience, is the statement or artistic statement. Photographers use it when they deliver their portfolios to competitions, galleries, museums or their exhibitions and can also use it in their web pages, social networks and, in general, to present their works.
Through this statement, the photographer expresses his creative intentions, stating that he creates, as he creates and creates it. The preparation of this document implies a deep reflection of the artist to discover himself and show himself in the most open, clear, concise and consistent way possible. Through the statement, the artist connects his speech with his audience.

Knowing how to combine artificial lighting with natural light so that they are balanced is just one example of what the creative photographer should know how to apply.
