Today I had the opportunity to meet with a photographer, Janet Kimber, and study her portfolio. Her work can be found on www.Janetkimber.com. The images are beautiful but what was even more compelling were Janet’s comments as to the thinking and strategy behind each photograph and even her emotions at the time she was shooting. The photographs I was looking at were for commercial purposes. While they were fine art photographs they were meant for brochures, advertising, postcards etc.. That said, the creative process reflected in each image was intriguing. As I looked at the images it made me consider the process we use in developing communications programs.
It also reminded me how important it is not to get stale which is of course an occupational hazard. It is good to be reminded of how important creativity is to my business and how important it is that I ensure the creative process is strengthened in my team - as important as ensuring they have working phones and computers. To that end, I have invited Janet to come to GCI and take our team through her images and describe the creative process that went into making each one.

Thanks for driving me to her web site. In the early days of print placement, I would encourage my clients to tell part of their story in well written (by me) prose, and support it with a photograph that would appeal to the media. Twenty years later, I still belive that a PR person must have a creative soul to “see” a story, whether it is through visuals or through well written (by me) prose.
