Alternative Photography Processes to help you Innovate and Create with Pablo Giori

#484 In this episode of the Beginner Photography Podcast, I chat with Pablo Giori, Photographer and Director of the Experimental Photo Festival . Pablo shares the importance of creative play and community support in experimental photography. Learn how embracing failure can lead to innovation, and discover diverse techniques you can start experimenting with today. As you listen, think about how you can implement these creative approaches into your photography practice, embark on new projects, and connect with fellow photographers to amplify your journey. THE BIG IDEAS Experimentation is Key: Embrace experimental techniques to discover new artistic expressions. It's about exploring possibilities and not fearing failure. Community Support: Surround yourself with a supportive community. Sharing insights and feedback can elevate your photography. Embrace Failure: Failure in experimental photography is an opportunity to learn and innovate. Every setback is a step towards mastery. Creative Decision-Making: Make informed and creative choices at every stage of your photography process, from selecting the camera to post-processing. PHOTOGRAPHY ACTION PLAN Try Cyanotype at Home: Purchase cyanotype kits online or from your local art store. Follow easy DIY tutorials to practice making cyanotype prints with household items. Experiment with Photo Soup: Gather some instant photos and submerge them in water with different chemicals (e.g., Coca-Cola) to create unique effects. Document the process and outcomes to refine your technique over time. Attend Workshops and Fest: Find experimental photography workshops or festivals to expand your skills. Join online sessions offering practical tips and hands-on learning. Try a Project on Double Exposures: Collaborate with another photographer to swap films and create double exposures. Experiment with different themes and document your learning process in a visual diary.
