The Creatives Project

I'm moving my "Creatives Project" blog over to this page, since it is my main blog and it's difficult to manage all these blogs! I've been convinced that everything should be consolidated in one space so here it all is! The Creatives Project has come into being as an outlet for a personal project of mine -- it started casually, just wanting to photograph people of all artistic stripes who inspire me. I've been asked a few times, well what is the end goal of this whole thing? Honestly, I'm not entirely sure. It started as a personal project for me while the economy tanked and freelance jobs became more scarce. It’s a great opportunity to have creative freedom in creating some (hopefully) wonderful portraits!
