The Inner Radiance

How Creativity Shapes Your Photography

Welcome to an exclusive exploration for our paid subscribers

Dear fellow light lovers,

There's something profound that happens when we recognize creativity not as a skill to acquire, but as an inherent radiance already within us. Today, I want to share a perspective that transformed my approach to photography—one that might illuminate new pathways in your own creative journey.

The Nature of Creative Light

We often think of creativity as something external to master, but I've come to understand it as a series of light beams radiating from within each of us. These beams aren't reserved for the traditionally "artistic"—they exist in everyone. They're sparked by our fundamental human desires: to tell our stories, to seek beauty, to speak our truth.

For us as photographers, these beams manifest most visibly through our cameras. But they also appear in how we write our captions, in the routes we choose for location scouting, in the decisions we make (as shared in the previous post) and especially in what our eyes are drawn to along the way. There's a richness to noticing what you notice.
