I was setting up for a shoot that would happen later in the day and decided to take some time and play a bit with the assistant before starting with the model. Doing this often loosens me up to new ideas. When playing fun happens, and usually a different way of looking at things appears. Play seems to release the creative spirit. Play is a big part of creativity. Einstein said, “Creativity is intelligence having fun.” Creativity can start with a simple idea or just an observation. This “out take” became as important to me as the shot that followed it. Playing earlier in the day sent me in a different direction and changed the “Official Shoot” later that day. So, play on !
