"Unlocking Creativity: The Power of Shadow Work Coaching"

ADDRESSING THE NEW SENSATION OF SHADOW WORK…and how it SHOULD work for the Artist and Creative.

Shadow work is a profound inner journey that delves into the hidden corners of our consciousness. It involves confronting our deepest fears, repressed emotions, and the parts of ourselves we'd rather keep in the shadows. By shining a light on these aspects, we gain insight into our mental and emotional barriers, many of which can hinder our creative flow.

MEDITATION & SPIRITUALITY TO FUEL CREATIVITY

"Unleashing Creativity: The Transformative Power of Meditation and Spirituality"

Creativity is a wellspring of innovation, expression, and self-discovery. It knows no bounds and thrives on the depths of imagination. While creative processes may seem elusive at times, meditation and spirituality offer profound pathways to unlock and nurture this boundless well of inspiration.

Meditation, often referred to as the "art of stillness," allows individuals to tap into their inner world. By quieting the mind and embracing mindfulness, one can traverse the landscapes of their thoughts, emotions, and desires. In this serene space, the clutter of everyday life dissipates, making room for novel ideas and perspectives to emerge. Meditation encourages a free flow of thoughts and associations, leading to unexpected connections and fresh insights—essential ingredients for creativity.

Spirituality, on the other hand, offers a deeper understanding of the self and the interconnectedness of all things. Many spiritual traditions emphasize the importance of compassion, gratitude, and living in alignment with one's purpose. When individuals embark on a spiritual journey, they often gain a heightened sense of awareness, finding inspiration in the beauty of the world around them. This newfound perspective can infuse their creative work with profound depth and meaning.

Moreover, meditation and spirituality provide tools to navigate the inevitable blocks and challenges that creative individuals encounter. By promoting resilience, patience, and self-acceptance, these practices help artists persevere in their creative pursuits. In essence, meditation and spirituality act as catalysts, awakening the artist's soul to the boundless realms of creativity that reside within, waiting to be expressed. When art and spirit unite, the possibilities for innovation and transformation become limitless.

CAPTURING CREATIVITY!

THE PROFOUND MOMENTS THAT SHOULD NEVER BE UNDERESTIMATED.

by Kendra Alexys V.S. Philpot.

Here—HERE—is a moment that should never be overlooked. Like so many and like such others, this is where the promise and potential and power of an individual makes themselves real—real enough to be seen and realized by those around.

She is my daughter and she is profoundly creative, skilled and talented. She has a capacity of creativity and critical thought that is only overshadowed for her levels of care and kindness.

I am consistently amazed and left in awe at what she can do and the process in which she does it. She is the apex and epitome of all that I have aspired for and beyond. She is the greatest of any of my endeavors.

COMMERCIAL PHOTOGRAPHY AND THE ARTISTRY WITHIN

While we operate in three categories that are often broad and sweeping between industries, Art, Design and Photography have become the static cornerstones of discernible creativity. Whether with a brush, a computer program or a proper lens, composition and the aesthetic elements of a scene are key to evoking the right feelings.

As we view the images above, we encourage the audience to extract a type of feeling about images so clean and sharp and well composed. Within professional photography, we like to emphasize the importance of feeling within a composition. In informing and educating other about composition, the artistry—as we see it—is in imagining your subject or target scene on canvas or framed mounted upon a wall. It doesn’t always take planning or forethought but more an understand of the scene to be translated on a flat medium.

Our hope is to further encourage and inspire a resurgence of artistry within photography that is distinct for African and Ethnic American communities leaning away from the commercialization of human bodies to a study and revelation of beauty in other aspects of life. Yes, reality is essential to communicate within these communities but positivity and positive messages should not be costing our collective dignities and respect.

Hopefully, this post helps to inform and inspire creatives of Color and Ethnicity to not get caught up on the popular trends but to realize the great potential of just shooting clean and well-organized scenes. Take these images and build upon the concepts and ideas to create your own potential masterpieces of the camera and lens.
