What is 'Find Your Voice'?
'FYV' is a supportive community of photographers and artists, accessible in our App on smartphones, tablets and web browsers, who are interested in exploring a more expressive way of image-making. Led by Valda Bailey and Doug Chinnery, its prime objective is to help you grow creatively and break free of the constraints of conventional, representational photography with all its attendant rules and dogma.
Do You Feel Like This?
- You are tired of making images which look like everyone else’s
- You rebel against the ‘rules of photography’.
- You have seen abstract expressionist photographers using ICM and multiple exposure techniques and would like to explore them in depth.
- You feel you need inspiration... and maybe help to find your creative voice.
- You love talking about art and creativity but have no one to share your ideas with.
- You are keen to learn new things and are eager to grow creatively.
If this is you, you have come to the right place.
The free trial is perfect for you.
