ABSTRACT
Techniques are the tools of photography and creativity represents the desired outcome of photography. In approaching a concept of learning in photography, we must recognize that there are two distinct parts of what we will teach and how those ideas will be used. Learners need an understanding of creativity and becoming creative. If there is a difference between creativity and being creative, then there must be a difference between teaching creativity and teaching learners to be creative. The power of the visual language to communicate beyond the verbal is a key element for teaching creativity in both its active and passive forms. Photography, as many other arts, can give meaning to things that are beyond words. If creativity is to be linked with a unique communication value of photography, then teaching people to be creative is about teaching people to find things to say that communicate what they see and feel.
