Creativity is iteration. It’s the process of taking an initial spark of an idea and molding it through successive refinements. The beauty of creativity lies not in the first attempt but in the persistence and patience to revisit, rework, and reimagine.

For photographers, creativity is iteration. Capturing the perfect photo often requires multiple attempts, with each frame a new opportunity to refine composition, lighting, and focus.

Photographers revisit their work, experimenting with angles, exposures, and techniques, continually seeking that moment where vision and reality align. It’s a process of constant evolution, where every photo informs the next. Through this iterative journey, photographers transform ordinary scenes, revealing the world through their unique view.
