Episode 13 — Turning Everyday Sparks into Creative Practice

Creativity doesn’t live only in epic moments or perfect lighting. I’s hiding in the small details — your morning coffee, the way sunlight hits your kitchen, the hum of daily life. In this inspiring episode of The Photog Files, Brisbane photographer Rick Nelson explores how to turn everyday moments into powerful creative practice.

Learn how to train your mind to notice more, act on sparks quickly, and stay creative even when life gets busy. Whether you’re a photographer, writer, designer, or just someone craving more creativity in your day, this episode helps you build rhythm, curiosity, and momentum — one small spark at a time.

In This Episode You’ll Learn:

• Why noticing isn’t enough — action turns sparks into growth

• How constraints (like color or texture) make you more inventive

• Rick’s personal “light project” challenge and what it taught him

• The difference between waiting for inspiration vs. creating it
