Welcome to Create online!
The Gekko team are all excited to launch the new CREATE online site. This project has been in the works for some time now and was developed after observing the huge changes and challenges facing the photographic and creative community. CREATE 09 the book has now been distributed around Australia, if you have not received a copy please email us. Or purchase a copy online.
 
We wanted to create a ‘hub’ of sorts where clients across the country can find an artist , a studio or a resource in one central location. We’ve also endeavoured to create a site that the artists featured will enjoy coming to as a means to market themselves, contact other artists and clients, be abreast of industry offers and news, and become part of an active online creative network.
 
At CREATE you’ll find artists portfolios from photographers, graphic designers, illustrators and assistants. There are make up artists, producers, the best labs and studios to go to, and production resources for every need. There will be forums and product reviews, a free classifieds section, and a jobs noticeboard. You’ll also see great editorial content from here and abroad, and be eligible to win some fantastic prizes.
 
Have a look at the portfolio page now.... Click here. If you have not set up your portfolio then go to the portfolio page.
 
The CREATE online site is a new venture, that will grow and evolve over time, so please be patient as we iron out the buggy bits, but we encourage you all to have a look around and register to get updated with all the latest promotional offers, competitions, prizes and industry news. A special thanks to all of our fantastic sponsors who have made this venture possible, where we can all come together to share, network and CREATE! Read more about create...

Great DAM heritage still sets the benchmark

 Great DAM heritage still sets the benchmark

The digital revolution certainly has altered the creative landscape forever. Creative people have an immense array of tools and systems at their disposal to bring creative ideas to life in any medium; the only limiting factor is their imagination.
 
Like all revolutions there are side-effects attached. For the digital photographer on of the side effects is file overload. We are all drowning in files. At one end of the spectrum this is just an annoyance as you cannot find the file when you need them. For creative professionals, it is mission critical. Lose files and you risk losing a client. The risks are just too high.

The beauty of the arts project.
 
A few years ago I was asked to design a project as part of an ongoing Arts intervention called Northcott Narratives. The national arts company BighART had been working with tenants in the Northcott Housing estate in Sydney’s Surry Hills, an infamous estate with a reputation for drugs, suicide and social dysfunction. 
 
 
 

Leave only Footprints, take only Photographs?

Wed, 28/01/2009 - 09:36


Exposure, lens focal length, perspective, shutter speed, f-stop, camera type, camera format, digital, film, film type, film speed! There are just so many elements to be considered before taking a photograph. Then of course there has been the logistical planning to get you where you need to be, your time, money, research or that of your client. Even if all of this amounts to no more than you getting out of bed early on a Saturday morning, throwing the camera bag into the car and driving to the local wetland, you’ve earned the right to get that shot haven’t you. Well haven’t you? END OF TEASER.

The key question isn't "What fosters creativity?" But it is why in God's name isn't everyone creative? Where was the human potential lost? How was it crippled? I think therefore a good question might be not why do people create? But why do people not create or innovate? We have got to abandon that sense of amazement in the face of creativity, as if it were a miracle if anybody created anything.

 It is better to have enough ideas for some of them to be wrong, than to be always right by having no ideas at all

The moment when you first wake up in the morning is the most wonderful of the twenty-four hours. No matter how weary or dreary you may feel, you possess the certainty that, during the day that lies before you, absolutely anything may happen. And the fact that it practically always doesn't, matters not a jot. The possibility is always there.

New insights fail to get put into practice because they conflict with deeply held internal images of how the world works ... images that limit us to familiar ways of thinking and acting. That is why the discipline of managing mental models -- surfacing, testing, and improving our internal pictures of how the world works -- promises to be a major breakthrough for learning organizations.
