How to get out of a creative block? Hi everyone! I’m new here and I am happy to have found a sub for photographers.

Some of the most creative work I’ve ever done (on accident) This is my best friends dad and girlfriend. She hired me to get some photos for her look book she’s curating. I’m a filmmaker, so I always just film and process stills in Davinci Resolve. I toyed around with layering the B&W image on top with a hard light filter and it gave this incredible look. I even offset the B&W by one frame and exported th…

Gandalf, Obi-Wan, Dumbledore, etc. Avatar’s is obviously Uncle Iroh, b…

When a show’s main creative staff leave simultaneously and “creative differences” are cited, what does that say to you? I know “creative differences” is a vague blanket term that can mean almost anything, but I’m curious whether folks have any insight into what it typically does mean. It sounds like a situation where someone at the studio asks the creative team to change things, for whatever reason, and the creative team refuses, preferring to lose their jobs ra…
