Now a question; “Can you be creative by photographing something that has been
photographed before a million times?
Answer “NO”
Some people say that if you take a photo of the Eifel Tower in Paris from a different angle it
will be a creative photo, it will be innovative, but in reality, it will not, it’s the same tower only
from a different perspective, you can say it’s a weak attempt at a creative photo.
The minimum creative effort a photographer can do is to study the subject to be photographed sometimes for days, at different times of the day know a little or a lot of the history of the place or the person, and once you have that you search for the never before seen photo, because after all you want to be unique.
