Creator Process (Episode 266)
In Cancun, Mexico, I met Felix Hernandez, a photographer / digital and miniature artist who has worked with brands like Top Gear and Gucci and other clients around the world.
We talked about creativity from the perspective of a person who works with his hands.
He told me that the creative process of building a great idea in your head and executing it is the best – when you start the “creative process” the real magic happens.
The creative process is the part of the creative process that happens outside of your mind.
A creator is someone who brings something into existence.
Working with miniature objects, his camera and other objects, his vision comes to life.
According to Felix, part of the creative process is what gives his life meaning.
Having an idea for a book is great, but the creative process begins when you put the first word on the page.
Having an idea for a dish is great, but the creator process begins when you start chopping the first ingredient.
And so on.
Many people think that creativity happens in your mind.
But creativity isn’t just having ideas—it’s giving birth to those ideas. It brings them to life.
That is the creative process.
What are you going to bring to life?
