Are\u00a0you feeling\u00a0creatively stuck with your iPhone photography? Are you lacking inspiration and motivation to take new and interesting\u00a0photos? It happens to us all at some point, but with a little help you\u00a0can climb out of the rut and push your creativity to exciting new\u00a0levels. In this tutorial you’ll discover\u00a0how to use the Learn Photo365 app<\/a> to generate new photography ideas that will reignite your creative\u00a0spark and keep it alive for the rest of the year.<\/p>\n

\"Learn<\/p>\n

How To Maintain\u00a0Your\u00a0Creativity<\/h2>\n

I’ve been teaching photography workshops around the world for many years, and the common theme amongst almost all my students has been a variation on this: \u201cHow do I keep creative when I don\u2019t feel creative?\u201d<\/p>\n

If you’ve struggled with this, you’re not alone! In fact, you may be relieved to know that it’s normal to purposefully fan the flame of creativity, as creativity isn’t necessarily always switched to \u201con.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"Learn<\/p>\n

Similar to how we can take vitamins and do daily exercises to help keep our bodies healthy, we can also take daily photo assignments<\/a> to keep our creativity strong and vibrant.<\/p>\n

The Learn Photo365 app is an iPhone photo assignment generator that pushes you to think outside of your photographic comfort zone.<\/p>\n

When we’re encouraged to photograph subjects that we’re not used to photographing, we can advance in our photography goals quickly and more easily.<\/p>\n

\"Learn<\/p>\n

In the rest of this tutorial, I’ll take you through a step-by-step tutorial to show you\u00a0how to use the Learn Photo365 app to generate a wide range of photography\u00a0topics and ideas that\u00a0will help you take\u00a0your creativity to new and exciting levels.<\/p>\n

How To Use The “Learn Photo365” App<\/h2>\n

The first step is to download the app to your iPhone. The developer has different versions of this app, so make sure you find the\u00a0\u201ciPhotography\u201d version of Learn Photo365<\/a>\u00a0on the App Store.<\/p>\n

\"Learn<\/p>\n

When you open the app, you’ll have a few options to choose from. You can browse through the full list of assignments, you can let the app randomly choose an assignment for you, or you can do a challenge:<\/p>\n

\"Learn<\/p>\n

To browse through the list of assignments, tap Choose From List<\/strong>, and you’ll be shown an extensive list of photography assignment categories:<\/p>\n

\"Learn<\/p>\n

Keep in mind that at any time you can hit the Random<\/strong> button at the bottom of that screen to get the app to choose a category for you.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s do a quick practice to understand the menu layout.\u00a0Within the Assignment Categories section, tap\u00a0the Composition<\/strong> option.\u00a0You’ll then see a brief description of the Composition section:<\/p>\n

\"Learn<\/p>\n

Tap\u00a0the You Pick<\/strong> button, then tap\u00a0on the Point of View<\/strong> option:<\/p>\n

\"Learn<\/p>\n

It’s at this level in the menu structure that you’ll see more detailed descriptions of practical and theoretical aspects of iPhone photography.\u00a0Tap on the photo of the woman under the colorful parachute:<\/p>\n

\"Learn<\/p>\n

You should now see further detailed tips that will help you to\u00a0shoot a similar scene:<\/p>\n

\"Learn<\/p>\n

When you’re done reading, you can tap\u00a0Close<\/strong>, then Back<\/strong>, and Back<\/strong> again. You should now have returned to the Assignment Categories section.<\/p>\n

Near the bottom of the app screen tap\u00a0on Randomizer<\/strong>, then tap the Random Place<\/strong> option:<\/p>\n

\"Learn<\/p>\n

After a brief description of the Random Place section, the app will have randomly chosen a place for you. The app screenshot below has instructed us to shoot on an island:<\/p>\n

\"Learn<\/p>\n

But if that’s not possible, tap the New Place<\/strong> button to find another option that’s closer to home. By tapping\u00a0through the places you’ll encounter such locations as Bowling Alley, Construction Site, Under A Tree, Elevator, etc.<\/p>\n

Once you’ve chosen your Place, tap\u00a0the Shooting Ideas<\/strong> button for more inspiration. Finally, tap\u00a0Close<\/strong>, then Back<\/strong>, and then Back<\/strong> once more to return to the Assignment Categories section.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s now explore the Creative Thinking<\/strong> option. By tapping\u00a0on this link you’ll see a number of great options for assignments, but for this\u00a0lesson we’re going to tap on Verse to Visual<\/strong> at the bottom of the screen:<\/p>\n

\"Learn<\/p>\n

The app developer has offered photo examples that also include a verse to show you what the lesson refers to.<\/p>\n

Also, if you’re stuck for a verse, check out the sample verse near the bottom of the screen. If you don’t feel inspired by this verse, tap the New Verse <\/strong>button to generate another one.<\/p>\n

As before, we’ll now return to the main Assignment Categories page by tapping\u00a0Back<\/strong>\u00a0twice.<\/p>\n

The Creative Techniques section has some very interesting assignment options. At the bottom of that page, tap on the Shadows\u00a0<\/strong>option:<\/p>\n

\"Learn<\/p>\n

This page\u00a0gives you helpful advice on how to photograph shadows<\/a>. Tap\u00a0on any of the included photos to get even more examples of how shadows can be successfully captured.<\/p>\n

When you’ve finished browsing, tap Close<\/strong>, then tap the Back<\/strong> button twice to return to the Assignment Categories page.<\/p>\n

At this point hopefully you’re comfortable with the structure of the app, and how the Assignment Categories page acts as a springboard to explore the many different assignment combinations available.<\/p>\n

As you’ve already discovered, along with a general description of each assignment, there’s also a series of four to eight sample photos with detailed tips within each assignment. These photos will help steer you toward potential subject matter.<\/p>\n

Now we’ll look at some of the app\u2019s functionality. When you’ve found an\u00a0assignment that you like, it can be useful to add it your Favorites so that you can come back to it any time.\u00a0To do this\u00a0tap\u00a0on the Fav+<\/strong> option at the top right of the screen:<\/p>\n

\"Learn<\/p>\n

With your favorites all in one place, you can come back to them any time you like\u00a0by tapping\u00a0Favs<\/strong> at the bottom of the screen:<\/p>\n

\"Learn<\/p>\n

Tap the Back<\/strong> button to exit your favorites, then\u00a0tap\u00a0the Home<\/strong> option at the bottom center of the screen. This takes you to\u00a0the view that you started with when you opened the app for the first time.<\/p>\n

Tap the Challenges<\/strong>\u00a0button, and you’ll see four options: 365\/52\/30, Selfie 365, Scavenger Hunt, and 30 Day Subject. Tap the 365\/52\/30<\/strong>\u00a0option to see what it has to offer:<\/p>\n

\"Learn<\/p>\n

Here you can choose from an impressive list of one assignment each day for a year, 52 weekly assignments within a year, or a 30 day monthly challenge.<\/p>\n

When you’ve finished your daily or weekly challenge, you can tap\u00a0the X<\/strong> beside the name of the challenge to remove it from the list.<\/p>\n

Tap the\u00a0Back\u00a0<\/strong>button, and return to the Challenges<\/strong> page. Not only do you have more than enough subject matter for a daily 365 challenge, but you also have the following options…<\/p>\n

There’s a\u00a0Selfie challenge, a very comprehensive scavenger hunt option, and a 30 day subject scenario whereby you photograph the same subject (type of thing) each day:<\/p>\n

\"Learn<\/p>\n

This last option is useful as it forces us to see and photograph everyday objects in creative and different ways.<\/p>\n

Finally, when you’re back on the Home screen, tap\u00a0on the Extras<\/strong> button to reveal app information, reminder options, tips on iPhone photography, plus some great sharing capabilities.<\/p>\n

I hope that you’re now feeling inspired to kickstart your creativity\u00a0and spend a year pushing yourself to new creative horizons.<\/p>\n

Of course, you\u00a0may be able to think of\u00a0some great photographic ideas yourself, but if you’re looking for suggestions and inspiration, the Learn Photo365 app will help you on your journey.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
