Finding ideas can happen casually and by chance, for example while showering or jogging - but as a photographer and therefore a professional creative, you can't rely on that. In this book, Creative Director Lutz Lungershausen explains how you can approach the matter in a targeted and systematic way using creative methods and techniques.

It begins with the briefing or the first impulse and shows step-by-step what is helpful and necessary to generate new ideas. This even includes rules that ensure a productive and fluid creative process. There are also tips on how to ask the right questions and how to deal with "creativity killers".

The author explains reliably effective creativity methods in detail and with numerous examples. And he presents ten of the most productive creativity techniques: by changing perspectives, reversing, combining and replacing, you can inspire yourself to come up with truly extraordinary motifs. Finally, you will learn how to select and develop the right ones from the many ideas generated in this way.

Numerous sample images and interviews with successful photographers round off this unique textbook perfectly and ensure that in the future you will be creative at the touch of a button and be able to create extraordinary photos.
