I talked about a class I took in a previous post where the goal was to do something out of your normal element to extend yourself. I came up with an idea that I was pretty happy with. When I shared the photo with the instructor and the rest of the participants, there were plenty of great variation ideas that I hadn’t considered. That got me back to do a reshoot to try the different elements. They worked great. That got me thinking about collaborating with others. Even when you have a great idea, working with other people can bring even more out of it. A lot of photographers work in solitude and there’s nothing wrong with that, but when given the chance to work with other people, take every advantage of other ideas and perspectives. You can’t have all the ideas yourself but when you collaborate, real magic can happen. Cheers!
