Many of us can't draw a stick figure and shudder when we are confronted with the inevitable list of art supplies needed to accomplish some technique or other. Keeping an art journal intrigues us, yet we feel frustrated with all these books espousing the same old mantras for us to get out the old art supplies, ephemera,etc., and just get moving. Really? We stare at a blank page and still don't know where to begin. Or we do and the result looks anything but "creative." Well, relief is at hand. This book has a completely different approach. We can pick up a digital camera or even our cell phone camera and just start shooting our day, our routines, our habits, our secret rituals, beautiful sunsets, flowers, street shots, our kids...whatever strikes our fancy. This sense of freedom to create photographically is so incredibly refreshing. Five or ten or twenty or more shots later, we have artfully and honestly captured our lives and our journey is well underway, hopefully sans the fear and paralysis the other books purport to cure us of. That blank page neurosis could be history. With the sound of a shutter click, we've taken a giant step in seeing ourselves and our world differently and more fully in a way that all those art supplies could never do for many of us. Anderson's book is to be savored by the beginning to the experienced photographer and the author leaves no one behind. The instructions within are clear and easy to understand; the ideas and artwork are inspirational. What a relief to know that there are techniques and projects that we can all learn and utilize in our photographic creations with satisfying results.Before I conclude this review, note that the author works her magic in Adobe Photoshop Elements, the easiest to use and least expensive of Adobe's photographic suite of products. However, the functions in PE that she instructs us to use are pretty basic and can be found in several of the free on-line photo programs like GIMP as well as less expensive options by Corel Paintshop Pro X, for example. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Seeing your world in a new way *by S***T on Reviewed in the United States on September 20, 2011* This book is almost a visual course in "beginner's mind." It promises months of creative discovery and delight. Interspersed with useful hints, insightful quotes, like Carita Kent's, "Art does not come from thinking but from responding," and encouragement in specific `explorations' to rediscover the world around you through photography, "The Creative Photographer" is both reflective and instructive. And if, like me, you have been afraid of venturing into photoshop, Catherine Anderson will coax you into trying by using the beautiful simplicity of the images on every page, teamed up with her easy to follow instructions.Some of the recommended `explorations' give an idea of the book's content: an alphabet box, a natural sculpture, a word banner, a visual idea journal, random acts of photography, seeing like Leonardo da Vinci, photographs as collage elements, secret vision box, collecting colors, mirroring the world (a different slant on reflections) are all creative ideas that the author combines skillfully with practical instructions.Just by its simple but evocative images, this book has encouraged me to take my camera out on an "Artist's Date" to capture what the casual eye easily misses. Examples in the book are: dried petals in an open book, old pearly buttons forming the letters CALM, resting on an embroidered sheet, a single autumn leaf lying on a cracked pavement, a handful of scrabble tiles, the peeling paint on an outside door with a rusted handle, a row of supermarket trolleys viewed from an unusual angle.An observation from the author herself sums up the book; "I create simply for the joy of doing it." No matter how skilled - or unskilled - you are at photography, how simple or how elaborate your camera is, Catherine Anderson inspires you to go out and use it to record life in an entirely new way. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Expands your photographic Eye *by C***K on Reviewed in the United States on October 16, 2011* I bought this book on a whim and am very glad I did. If you are an amature photographer working to develop your skills, this book will be a great help. The author is trying to get you to look differently at the world around; to take the ordinary and turn it into photographic art.Many photography books give suggestions to increase the quality of your work. However when you delve deeper, you find that you have to outlay some serious money to achieve their results. Many of this authors suggestions are very budget friendly which are appreciated by any struggling, starving artist.I would say that a major theme of this book is the Self Assignment. She gives exercises to build your body of work and it does not require anything other than your camera and exploration of the world you live. Also her alternative printing techniques are cost effect and the products are easily obtained.I would highly recommend this book to anyone who wants to just expand their vision and get into a daily or weekly habit of building their photographic skills. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.es/products/9155599-the-creative-photographer](https://www.desertcart.es/products/9155599-the-creative-photographer) --- *Product available on Desertcart Spain* *Store origin: ES* *Last updated: 2026-04-25*
