Working Inside The Box

I have always felt working with boundaries makes the creative process easier. Face it, if someone asks you to make a photo of anything you want, where do you start? But, if someone says make a picture that has these ideas in them you now have that place... to start.

It’s what comes after, which takes you beyond the box.

TEXTURE

Recently I was given some boxes to fill. Simple boxes like shape, line, and texture. Having improvisational acting experience I understand the power of a one word suggestion.

that is a cool photo and suggestive. so right about the improv acting, you always could have a word or two. freedom to fill the box is better than having your mind occupied with getting the box. But notice it takes a box to fill to give us the idea or impetus to fill da box. No lids on those boxes now, ok!
