Creativity on the Fly

Kirsty was one of my first inspiration as a family photographer when I started my photography journey 11 years ago. I was in awe by her way of using natural light and her compositions. I had no hesitation to get her POTF years ago which I thoroughly enjoyed. And could not wait to get her second breakout.

In this Creativity on the fly course, Kirsty guides us to find the right tools and how to use them to tell our own stories through unique ways.

In a smooth and interesting manner, she goes deeply into what creativity is, explaining the different learning stages and how we can unveil our own creative expression.

She shares personal photos of her travels and everyday life and how she incorporates different elements and techniques such as double exposure, panning, layering and how the mood of an image can be affected or influenced if taken from a different angle, adding movement or changing the light.

I personally enjoyed Kirsty’s questions that automatically take you to an introspection on who, how and where we are as creatives, encouraging us to be more intentional, mindful and anticipate the moment. Also, I loved how much she stresses the importance of being more present in our own images.

The creative exercise book is a beautiful and perfect addition to this course, it has prompts, lovely phrases and activities to do where you can add your own personal reflections and ideas.

Finally, Kirsty shares a creative project inspiration guide with links to different projects and other creatives and amazing photographers.

In all, this course is full of useful information that has to be taken with no rush, but mostly, because it has “hidden” messages that will not only get into your creative mind but will be food for your soul, as it was for mine.

As I write this, I am still making my way through the materials - Kirsty has put together such a wonderful course that deserves to be savoured, considered, pondered and most definitely not rushed. This is not just about photography, this is about self care, intention, living life in a way that feeds the soul, and then infusing that into your images. Kirsty's personal notes peppered throughout the course make you feel that she is right there with you, gently guiding you through, sharing her soul in the hope that you too will share yours. Her images peppered throughout the pdf are inspiring and thought provoking, and the Creative Exercise book is a beautiful tool which deserves to be printed and bound, written in and doodled upon. Thank you, Kirsty, for such an amazing course!

As I both read and watch all the material Kirsty has put together, and presented sooooo beautifully, I already know I will come back to this course again and again in months and years to come. The material is so detailed and Kirsty shares so much of herself, you feel like a friend is giving you gentle guidance and encouragement. This course came out at the perfect time for me, as we are transitioning from our busy summer back into our school year routines, I will be able to utilize the course content in my day to day life, infusing creativity into life with 5 young kids, without feeling like I need to somehow find more time. Highly recommend !!!

I love this course! Seeing Kirsty's amazing images and listening to her videos is incredibly inspiring. The presentation and amount of information has gone above and beyond my expectations. The presentation is so engaging I feel like I'm listening to a friend and Kirstys words are so encouraging! I have a long list of ideas to try, and feel so inspired to let me creativity fly! Thank you Kirsty for sharing your passion and knowledge!

Kirsty's course is just starting and already I am so inspired! Adding creativity to evryday life is not only a photography goal but a life goal! And the way she talks about photography and suggest that we use it There is so much in her course that I share and feel like it's so true. It's liberating to look at and will get you out of a rut for sure!
And of course Kirsty is, as always so supportive of the photography community! It's amazing!

If you are looking for a gentle nudge to help kickstart your creativity, look no further! As someone who loves to dive deeply into topics, I appreciate Kirsty's thorough approach to the topic of creativity. This is a course meant to be savored--to go through slowly and revisit again and again at different points in our creative journeys in order to glean new insights. I initially read through the course materials quickly to get some general ideas, but I now can't wait to go through it all again at a slow pace to really reflect and allow it to soak in and take root. As a side note, Kirsty's Creative Exercise Book is worth so much more than the price tag of the course alone. Do yourself a favor and invest in this course!!

Kirsty Lamour's, Creativity on the Fly, is a beautiful meditation on creativity and a must have course for all artists and especially photographers. I was immediately drawn into Kirsty's writing and images, and could not stop reading her lovely and thought-provoking words, and watching her videos which are full of beauty and inspiration . But truly this is a course meant to be savored. I plan to now go through the class slowly to soak in all of Kirsty's inspiring writing, images and lessons, which I know I will be coming back to again and again on my journey as an artist. Regardless of where you are on your journey as a photographer this course is for you! Kirsty is a generous and kind teacher who encourages her students to explore creativity in all aspects of their lives and then bring all of their discoveries back into their work. Kirsty, thank you for putting your time and energy into this beautiful, fun, engaging, inspiring, and thoughtful class!

I have followed Kirsty for years and took Kirsty's POTF course which I absolutely loved. So when I saw that she had another course coming out I pre-registered without hesitation. I always learn so much from Kirsty and of course her course isn't just full of useful information but also so much eye candy. It feels like I am travelling while following along. This course has been really insightful and parts of it felt therapeutic. I can tell that I will be watching the videos more than once. There is a lot more to this course than I had expected and have enjoyed playing with her creative journal/workbook. Creativity is in every part of our lives and I love to learn more about how to become more creative and how to appreciate all the creative possibilities. Thank you Kirsty for this course I am truly grateful!

I am only partially into the material, but I keep finding myself thinking how important/relevant/wonderful this content is for our work as photographers. Kirsty’s video on her image thought processes alone makes the course worthwhile - it is so good, I am already planning to rewatch it in the near future! Kirsty includes a plethora of visually stunning images and her comments are not only eloquent, but thought-provoking. She shares a wealth of knowledge and experience here; her passion for teaching, creativity, and photography all shine through. Thank you for putting this course together Kirsty, it is already a favorite!!!

I just started Creativity on the Fly and it already resonates so much with me. I am on my third 365 and I always find it a struggle the last few months to be inspired. My most favorite images are definitely the ones where I push my creativity and skills and try something new. I love preconceiving an image and using my tools to make it come to be. This course is just perfect for me at this time. Kirsty's work is phenomenal and her words and videos are thoughtful, encouraging and positive. I definitely recommend this course for anyone in a rut or anyone who just wants to spark some creative juices.

Wow! This course. Just, wow. It's amazing to see Kirsty's creative process and ways of infusing creativity into her life and work. She talks about the the curious, creative mindset, and also about lots of tools to use to be creative, and when/why to use them. So many examples! Great videos! This course is fuel for your creative fire!

Kirsty is one of the most amazing photographers around and to add to that she is giving, kind, inspirational and open with her creative process is just icing on the cake. This class was just the push I needed to keep creating and find ways to be creative looking at the beauty all around us. As artists there are ebbs and flows for creativity and reaching a lull in my own inspiration really felt like this course was perfect timing!

I love that there is visual inspiration to peruse as well as a written workbook and videos, so she can cover all learning styles. It's so wonderful to be a part of a class that helps each artist find their own way to be creative with open arms!

This course is full of ideas about creativity.  You will be challenged to know yourself, see creatively daily, make time for creativity, and much more...all complete with exercises to help you do just that.  While I have not been able to get through all the videos yet, the PDF was full of ideas to give your creativity a kick start and keep it growing. Kirsty also included a list of other resources to keep that creativity flowing long after this course is over, although the takeaways from the this course should be enough to keep anyone going a long time.  (You may not agree with everything Kirsty has to offer here, and she makes it quite clear that it is okay to disagree.  This is just another step in finding yourself and what makes you tick as an artist. But I think everyone will find something that resonates with them and will help them to grow artistically in this course). Kirsty is super excited about creativity and it shows with her enthusiasm and willingness to help each person in the class.  I'm looking forward to working my way through the rest of the class materials and putting into practice what she is teaching. 

Kirsty is such an inspiring photographer and person. It is amazing to be able to learn more about her creative thought process. It is certainly helping me to think in new ways not just in my photography - but also in life. The course includes a fantastic creative notebook to help you get your ideas onto paper through a series of creative exercises. It is a fantastic addition to the already top-notch learning material. This course is just the inspiration that I need!

Kirsty is one of the wisest and most creative people I've ever known. I've been waiting for the course to release ever since I heard about it. I set aside all other work to do the course as soon as I could and I absolutely LOVE it. I am still going through the wealth of knowledge she has shared. The thoughts and ideas she shares are all so profound and layered that I find myself stopping and thinking every few minutes. I already have 100 different ideas floating through my mind and I have only done about 40% of the course. Kirsty is so passionate about art and artistry and this passion shines through in every aspect of the course. I greatly appreciate her generosity in sharing her thoughts and knowledge on something as personal as creativity. I believe it is easy to teach technicality, but it is 10 times harder to teach a soft skill like creativity. Not only has she shared what creativity means and how it works for her personally, she has also listed ways for us to dig deep, find and nurture our own creativity and convert it into great art. This course is what I needed to restart my somewhat stagnant creativity and I am so thankful to Kirsty to have helped me in this.

I have been a fan of Kirsty's for years. I took her last course Photography on the Fly years ago and it inspired me more than she will probably ever know. When I heard she was releasing a follow up course I jumped on the chance to learn from her again. I haven't finished all the materials yet and it is already such a steal at $25. Kirsty teaches not only about how to incorporate creativity into your photography but also into your life. This course reminds artists at any stage why we fell in love with photography in the first place and encourages us to practice our craft with joy and wonder. Creativity on the Fly is an enlightening, uplifting and inspiring class that I will be enjoying for a long time to come.

Wow - what can I say? Kirsty has once again bared her heart and soul and given direction for those who want to take a more creative approach to their photography. She has been honest about her own journey and explains why she has found her tips to be important to her and why you should take them into consideration with your own work as well. She isn't pushy and encourages you to be your own artist - while inspiring you to think beyond what you see through the lens. Kirsty has supplied gorgeous visual candy and explained different composition and photography techniques that will help make your images stronger. I appreciate that she has also put together an inspiration board of sorts, so finding new and different artists to be inspired by can be a bit more pointed vs just scrolling. Thank you Kirsty for your time and yourself, it was like sitting down and having a cup of tea with a friend.

I have been a fan of Kirsty's work for a long time so it is always amazing for me to see her work. It has been such a treat to be able to see so many of Kirsty's images in her course. It is extremely valuable for me to be able to see other artists' thought process as that is what inspires me the most--the way they see the world and how they interpret it visually. Kirsty's course is loaded with both written and visual information that help boost creativity. Kirsty is also an amazing teacher who is there to guide and support rather than to simply lecture. I absolutely love her approach to nurture creativity and how genuine she is as a person. I anxiously waited for the course to go live and totally binged all the materials immediately when I got access. I am so excited that Kirsty even included a journal/workbook in her course. The exercise book is so beautifully designed and perfectly geared towards creatives like me who has a million ideas but feel overwhelmed to work on them. This is exactly what I have been looking for yet to find one that I liked until now. I can keep going to say how much I loved Kirsty's course! For everyone who wants to get a creativity boost, this course is a must!!
