Diary of a Creative Storyteller by Melissa Richard
Are you a storyteller who feels like you’ve lost your creativity? Do you long to tell stories that draw the viewer in and capture the imagination? We take photos to tell stories, but how do we infuse them with creativity and connection? And to take it one step further, how do we KEEP those creative juices flowing and avoid falling into a rut or burning out?
Join Hello Mentor, Melissa Richard, in this creative photography course packed full of imagery to help motivate and ignite your own creative process, Melissa is here to share all of her tips and tricks with you. She shares how she finds ways to bring that extra bit of “wow factor” to her images, how she manipulates dramatic light, and how she uses shadows to add impact. She walks you through not only her own creative process, but also breaks it down into easy steps for you to implement into your own stories as well. This course covers a myriad of topics including:
-
Storytelling: How Melissa plans out her stories and brings them to life.

Story Elements: Dramatic light, mood and emotion, compositional elements and interesting compositions, movement and details.
