Even at our most creative moments, we could go further if it were not for that little voice inside our head.
And that little voice puts up roadblocks.

It often comes down to a time limit – I don’t enough, but I’ve often found that the more creative my ideas are, the harder they are to implement. Sometimes it can be as simple as me being unable to explain my idea to the model.
So maybe it could be:
I’d be more creative if I know how to control my creativity with reality checks 🙂
Oh, and btw: I always write it down when I have an idea for a shoot. I never look at the list, but it’s a good way to think about things and solidity the idea. For me.
I’d be more creative, if I were more creative…
