This time it's personal: A creative reset
When every shoot has a brief, a deadline, and a client watching, creativity can quietly disappear. This session is about the importance of messing about - picking up a camera with no plan, no pressure, and no expectation of a finished product. Rick will look at why personal photo and video projects are vital for creative growth, skill development, and mental wellbeing, and how they often feed back into better paid work without trying. From playful experiments to quiet long-term ideas, this talk explores how making work just for yourself keeps you curious, motivated, and connected to why you started in the first place. This isn’t about chasing likes or building a “personal brand", it’s about giving yourself permission to create without an outcome, and why that freedom matters more than ever.
