SUMMARY:June 19\, 2023: Nic Stover will present “The Power to Create” via a hybrid Zoom session.
DESCRIPTION:June 19\, 2023: Nic Stover will present “The Power to Create” via a hybrid Zoom session. You will remember Nic as our judge from the June 27\, 2022 BPS Competition. \nJoin professional landscape photographer Nic Stover for this BPS session about an area of photography that is hard to quantify & takes some time to discover but is a critical part of the photographic process. Embracing the “Power to Create” gives each of us the permission needed to embrace the creative process of art. Together\, we will work with Nic to understand this process & how we can access it. This presentation will help us to look at our work & creative process in completely different ways than ever before. You will see how you need to give yourself permission to go deeper into your creative self to explore a wider range of what you & your work represent. \nAs Nic explains it\, this presentation will explore a number of concepts. How creativity is not something that is a limited\, singular event but is repeatable & endless. How to shift from thinking of yourself as (just) a photographer to being an artist &/or creative storyteller. Exploration of how we form limiting beliefs that disable our work & block us from being the creatives we want to be. Discovering where one gets inspiration & how you can more easily return to those states. Define how Nic sees his own creative process & how you might view yours. Realize how we need to understand the technical aspects of our craft and then move away from it\, ASAP. Introduction of the concept of the Whole Brain Photographer\, our brain states & how we can be creating while using both sides of our brain. The need to make the time for ourselves & establish the environment needed to create. The importance of understanding that creating is messy & getting comfortable in these states of unrest & how you can find your routines of repair. How you can work consciously & unconsciously to cultivate the ideal mindset for your own creative path. \nNic Stover is based in San Luis Obispo\, California. He focuses on nature photography classes & workshops\, encouraging his class participants to develop their skills\, explore their capabilities & create meaningful work. Through his classes\, webinars\, tutorials & presentations Nic works with people of all ages\, backgrounds\, experiences & desires focused around a dialog on how they can thrive in their own unique\, creative & artistic process. You can find more information about Nic at www.stoverphoto.com. \nThis will be a paid event for non-members with a $10 donation. For non-members interested in attending\, please register by making your $10 donation athttps://store.berksphotographic.org/product/club-donation/. At checkout\, please specify “Nic Stover – June 19” in the order box. Once BPS receives your donation\, your pass will be emailed to you.
