Killing Creativity Before it is Birthed
This question was asked on a forum I frequent and I felt compelled to reply with the following response. But first the question
Im looking for ideas or concepts such as Trash the Dress, or his shirt your way. What other great ideas are there that You know about? This could keep people busy!..
I will keep this brief. Asking others to give you ideas will only diminish the credibility of your expression and invalidate your own id. You are giving up on yourself before you have actually begun the process of being creative by doing so. Throw out every preconceived notion you have ever had and let yourself flow. Write anything down that comes to mind, dont be afraid of yourself and your ideas. We are often our worst enemies. Most people stymie themselves by criticizing their ideas before they can be fully realized.
Write EVERYTHING down that comes to mind, even if it has nothing to do with a photo shoot, a painting, a design or anything that requires creative solutions. It does not matter. Keep doing so to eventually unlock your true potential. Eventually ideas will begin flowing unencumbered. Just DONT pre-judge yourself PERIOD.
