Creativity is about being able to connect the dots. When you ask creative people how they did something, they might tell you that they didn’t really DO anything, they simply SAW something.
It seemed obvious to them after a while, because they were able to connect experiences they’ve had and synthesize it into a finished work of art. Smoking Dog Entertainment is backed by a team of curious, motivated, creative and talented Photographers, Commercial Directors and a rock-solid back-up team that are dedicated to bringing you the best results.
