I think I like most of the ones have been allready mentioned...but my question is..the OP needs to ask more specific what he means by creative...is it Photography on its own, concept, Photoshop skills, etc. there are diferent levels of creativity and since it is subjective a more define parameters will help..other than that the ones mentioned are good ones in its each parameters.

with all deference to theda; I have to say that whether you use photoshop, illustrator, micrographx, paint... or anything else to manipulate a photo... It is still a photo. If you used a camera to capture an image, that image is a photo. People have been manipulating images since photography started. To suggest that Photoshopping something magically translates that something into a new creature is to highlight an unawareness of what was once done in the darkroom through double exposure, burn, and airbrushing... It's the same now as it ever was.

Creativity does not stand on it's ear for people who have photoshop skills... the OP was clear, they wanted to see some creative ports... period; whether they be manipulated as mine and jeffs and max v's are, or whether they be "straight out of the can" such as dan santonis or adam rowells are. Just ask creative didn't matter how they were creative... It was not a sign of vagueness... but a sign that the OP understands that creativity is not limited by the definitions that we give it.

Well said Larry.

That was exactly what I was saying. Creativity isn't limited to one or two things. If it was, I wouldn't have mentioned MUA's, Photographers, Models and Stylists together. Creativity comes in all forms. A theme of a shoot, a photographers touch, the makeup used in a shoot or the wardrobe being worn. This particular forum question will allow us to see all styles of creativity and hopefully allow us to learn from one another of how we ourselves can be more creative in our next shoot smile

Enjoy and share! That's what makes the forum so useful!

I used to have a more 'creative' port, but I found I just made more money being boring.

Um.. I like money.

I like art too.

One day when I make enough boring money, I might make more art.

Well apparently you didn't die...how come we never shot together? sad By the way, I'd just like to say...everyone chill with the "me" stuff...if you're really creative you shouldn't need to nominate yourselves :-P

There are several here depending on what you mean by 'Creative'.   Some of the photoshop work is excellent and I try various techniques to learn and use what I see.   Frankly-tho I know this is mainly a glamour site so those that do the art ARE going to beignored a bit- I've gotten bored with Glamour.   Lots of wonderful glamour photogs by any stretch of the word and the work is great but...You can take 50 glamour photogs and each toss an image in a box and one artistic and he/she tosses one in the box and guess which will be easiest to seperate?

or you can do it my way !

:

have an house, sell it, for one year try to be alternative/artist,
get flat broke, start to starve, sell your hard earned skill to the boring industry,
wait an entire life, get filthy rich, start again to be artist.

uhm, perhaps you can die in the process, but it doesn't matter !
