creative photography

Imaginative camera work

Creative photography emphasizes artistic vision over straightforward documentation.

Where conventional photography aims to record subjects accurately, creative photography manipulates light, composition, exposure, or post-processing to produce images that express emotion, abstraction, or the photographer's personal interpretation: She teaches a workshop on creative photography techniques.

The term covers everything from experimental double exposures to heavily stylized portraits.
