A creative leadership enabler while capturing moments.

How do artists go about creating?

One of the reasons some feel that they're not creative is because they're not a published author or don't have a picture hanging in a gallery. To dispel that myth I speak with artist Gordon Ros of @ideacircus1965 about;
his creative expression,
his opinion on creativity,
his daily routine when it comes to creating,
and his opinion on how creativity and leadership skills are connected
...which is what #_Createfulness_ is about.

The link s in the bio.⁠

I hope you enjoy it.⁠

Going it alone...seldom works.⁠
Whether on a #_createful_ journey or leading a team very seldom, if at all, success comes from working alone.⁠
Whether someone to talk to, creative input, bouncing ideas, or sharing the load, asking, delegating, or collaborating is always a suggested option.⁠

Nothing in Life is certain!
The only thing that is certain is what we can do now, and consistently, to get us closer to what we want...⁠

A photographic exhibition by invitation only.
I've been invited to exhibit at @bokeh_creative_studio this Thursday 1st April.
Due to the intimacy of the venue and Covid rules only a limited number of people can attend.
If you're keen for an evening out, sipping on wine while viewing photographic art please DM for an invitation.
I look forward to seeing you there.

Shooting portraits the easy way out. Not often do

Shooting portraits the easy way out.
Not often do I have pictutes taken of me while I'm taking pictures. And how is this for a classic. Corporate and social media pictures taken of 2 clients from the comfort of a chair... in the middle of a street.
The results are shown too.

Transformation is seldom easy but If we believe in "us" and what want enough, we keep on going. ⁠
Sometimes it feels like we're trying to walk through treacle or swimming through quicksand but when we do get through it, look back - we will notice what we've been through, how far we've come, and how much closer we are to our destination...⁠
⁠
This photo was taken in Bilene, Mozambique. A young man riding around his village. Sometimes he pedaled, sometimes he freewheeled - but ultimately he kept on going until he got to where he was going.⁠

"Embrace the pace of your own journey."
Whatever journey we are on it's unique to us.
The speed of it is influenced by;
our values,
beliefs,
strengths,
weaknesses,
abilities,
courage,
how we learn;
how we deal with the mistakes,
our willingness to explore,
our openness to adjust,
and our level of participation

It's OUR unique journey so it's no use comparing it to anyone else's

This portrait of an artisanal fisherwoman was taken in Vilankulos Mozambique.
For hours she glided gently through the clear water, looking for her catch.
Slowly she raised her spear and quickly she released it, catching her prey - All at her own pace...

"Leaders make art and artists lead." Seth Godin I

"Leaders make art and artists lead." Seth Godin
I really love this quote as it shows how the art of leadership and the act of creativity are so connected. ⁠
A leader works towards achieving the vision along with the team. An artist leads the way in showing the world their unique expression. Both so similar except for how they are labeled. ⁠

This portrait was taken in Aubeterre Sur Dronne - France. This young woman is both the gallery owner and an artist. No titles or positions for her. She just wants to create and showcase her creations to the world, while contributing by showcasing other creators' and leaders' works. ⁠

“Leadership is the capacity to translate a visio

“Leadership is the capacity to translate a vision into reality…which is exactly what creativity is.”

The connection between acting as a leader or doing something creative is very similar - translating a vision or an idea into reality. Both need a vision, both need steps in place to achieve it, and both need to act as leaders to achieve the desired outcome.

This picture was taken at the famous Pasteis de Belem. A lone baker works to create the tasteful vision of the very famous Portuguese tart. It all started out as flour eggs and custard and ended up as a warm, memorable delicacy in my mouth. Such vision.

This photo was taken in Paris. I love the way the woman takes in the images, and no matter her opinion, the artists exhibit their work offering the audience a window into their creative expression.

Creativity does involve risk, but then again nothing ventured nothing gained. At worst - we learn from the experience. At best we create something new for us and others to enjoy

Even though we can be inspired to start something new, it's only once the journey begins - once we're physically involved with it, brainstorming ideas, believing that it can be achieved, that the inspiration kicks in to get us to the end.
This picture was taken @early.birds.academy of oung kids having fun with a problem solving exercise. Inspiration in action.

Perfection can't be pre-determined, as it's only once the journey begins can the tweaks be made to get us to our vision.
To achieve anything - it's all about starting, the rest happens along the way.

Have you ever noticed how when you think about creating something but don't follow it through, how the ideas and inspiration dry up?⁠
However when you get busy creating, how more the ideas and inspiration flood in?⁠
The secret is to just get going with what you have as more ideas and inspiration will come looking for you.⁠
