What does creative photography hide?
Creative or artistic photography goes far beyond capturing a simple image and is characterised by its attempt to capture the essence of an event, individual, inanimate object or landscape in a way that is completely different from reality. In this type of photography, what the creative photographer seeks to do is to provoke a reaction in those viewing the image. Either by telling an alternative version of a story, communicating a message or evoking a certain emotion in the viewer.
In this type of photography the camera becomes a fundamental tool for conveying ideas, emotions and concepts in a totally unique and original way. Creative photographers seek to experiment with composition, lighting, colour, focus and other technical elements to create images that stir the imagination and provoke an emotional response in the viewer.
Creative photographers often have a strong artistic vision and are constantly looking for new ways to express themselves through their images, for example by using the tools that AI is bringing out and improving all the time.

It is clear that creativity in photography admits multiple interpretations, an aspect that will surely delight the photographer who creates the work. And another fundamental truth about creative photography is that it can be used in various disciplines, such as: portraits, advertising or commercial photography, social reportage, landscape images, social photography, among others. Everything is valid when it comes to generating this type of innovative images.
If you are a photographer and you are fascinated by creative photography, what aspects do you have to take into account?
To become a great creative photographer, it is important that you have a good basic training. Knowing how to master your camera perfectly and playing with framing will allow you to play with different compositions and approaches. These are some of the aspects to keep in mind in order to achieve unique creative photographs:
- Technical knowledge: all creative photography, however spontaneous it may seem, relies on a broad knowledge of the more technical aspects of photography. Never stop training if you want your creativity to flow.
- Enhance your creativity: learn to think outside the box, look for the “b-side” of everyday things and learn to capture them in groundbreaking and unconventional images.
- Equipment: the equipment you will be working with will also help you to give that more artistic touch to your images, such as the types of lenses, lighting and other material that can help you to capture your most innovative ideas.
- Practice and a lot of passion: experimenting to create this type of photographs is basic to reach goals that you may not even be able to consider at the moment.
- Learn from the greats: Another aspect that can help you open your mind even more and try new ideas is to study the work of the great creative photographers of history.
Tips on how to be a great creative photographer
When it comes to gaining experience and making this type of high-impact images, as with everything in life, the most important thing is that you try, take risks and experiment with all kinds of compositions and techniques until you find your own particular style within this wide-ranging discipline.
Look at the greats in the world of photography, but also look at other creative disciplines, such as painting, fashion, show business or film and seek inspiration from these fields.
Create risky and groundbreaking scenes and photograph all kinds of situations, landscapes or people until you find a style that you are more or less comfortable with.
