The Creative Lab

Experimental Photography for the Soul

with Heidi Swoboda, M.Photog.,FP. 

Saturday, April 18th  at 10:30am - 12:30am PDT

Join us for an inspiring and immersive course designed for photographers seeking to elevate their artistry and infuse personal style into their photographic artwork. A hands on workshop blending photography, mixed media, and unconventional techniques to help pull you away from routine habits and discover your potential as a creative photographer and artist. A few of the ideas we’ll be exploring include:

• Creative Resets – Breaking Routines to Unlock New Perspectives
• Mining Your Mind – Identifying personal themes, emotions, and experiences that can drive creative projects.
• Concept-Driven Photography – Planning and executing images that tell deeper stories through symbolism, composition, and light.
• Cross-Disciplinary Inspiration – Drawing ideas from painting, music, literature, and film to fuel photographic work.
• Creative Rituals – Developing habits that sustain inspiration and prevent burnout
• Unexpected Pairings – Combine photography with other art forms like painting, collage, or fiber arts to push creative limits.

We’ll begin by exploring new creative inspirations together and finish with your own hands-on embellishment of physical prints in a variety of techniques. You will leave with take home tools to recharge your creativity and help you to create your own signature vision in photography. Whether you've been a professional photographer for years or are just starting out, this class is for you. Join us and unleash your full creative potential!

THE #1 TAKE AWAY OR INCENTIVE:

In Artistry Unleashed, you'll remove creative barriers and build sustainable practices that reveal your true photographic voice and elevate your work into authentic, art-driven imagery — all while gaining hands-on opportunities to experiment with creative print-finishing techniques that bring your vision to life.
