This workshop is designed for photo-based artists who are looking for concrete ways to improve and deepen their creative process. Key topics include the foundations of creativity and their practical implications, obstacles and blocks to creativity, the role of being prolific, and issues involved in developing a vision that’s both personal and unique to the artist. Drawing from the psychology of creativity and literature on the creative process as well as the presenter’s experience as an artist, this workshop’s emphasis is not on theory but on the development of practical strategies and approaches each artist can apply immediately to their own practice.

Frank Rodick is a photo-based artist whose work is in the permanent collections of museums around the world, appearing in over 35 solo and 80 group exhibitions. He is also a trained psychotherapist and, concurrent to his art practice, worked in the field for twenty years. During that time he developed a specific interest in the psychology of the creative process — applying it to his own practice, and then developing workshops for other artists as well as working with them individually. His most recently completed series, The Moons of Saturn, was the overall winner of the 2021 Pollux Awards and in 2023 was published as a book by the same title in partnership with The Photo Review.
