Creative picture

We are always trying to define creativity in order to understand and control its way of expressing and changing, but in my opinion it still remains a subjective matter. When I thought of the kind of picture I wanted to take I started to figure out what creativity was exactly to me and how it could be translated into an image; but while thinking a question came to my mind : should I take a creative picture or a picture that represents creativity? I could imagine examples just for the second possibility, but shouldn’t it be the same, creativity and its representation?

I believe that define a picture as creative is a really difficult business: there are not fixed parameters upon which you can make an evaluation; on the other hand a picture that somehow represents creativity, showing a part of its meaning, is able to create a direct connection towards this difficult subject, in order to start an interpretation of it.

In the picture I took there is just one person alone in front of a plant completely covered by yellow flowers. Between all these flowers there are little pieces of paper with dots and numbers (unfortunately not very visible). Connecting the dots with a line, from the first to the last, an umbrella not visible before comes into place inside the picture, becoming part of the reality. Starting from an hidden concept is possible to create something visible and understandable.

Creativity at first is the capability to see something, imagine a result that no one has thought of before, until you display it finally!

It includes the possibility to create links that are necessary to build a solution, to use what you can find around you in order to make a change or simply find an alternative way to do something common.

Creativity helps finding other meanings and makes them real, it plays with the environment, changing something in it or in our perception of it, starting from an idea, a dream or a desire and flowing towards a concrete result; any triggers can work to begin a process, the important aspect is to show something different or something really ordinary from a distinct point of view, adapting it to the context, like an umbrella cut out of flowers in a sunny day!
