Welcome to the AP Creative Community Newsletter!
Every other week, I feature creators from the community through our Creator Spotlight. 🙌 Join the community and submit your work through the Discord link here for a chance to be featured! I highlight one film, one photograph, and one video postcard. 📸 This Creator Spotlight is here to bring more exposure to creators, encourage others to tap into their talents, and build a community of creatives.🗺 When I’m not highlighting creators, I share actionable tips, honest answers, and valuable insights to help you on your creative journey.
New issues hit your inbox every Sunday. Glad you’re here. 🤝
🎉 Happy 2026 y'all! 🎉
I hope you and your loved ones had an amazing, restful and inspiring holiday season these past few weeks. 🥂 To kick off our first Creator Spotlight of 2026, we’re highlighting a group of creators whose work immediately caught my attention. Their films, photographs, and visual direction feel like early signals of where content is shaping out to go in the next year. 🙌
Don't forget to submit your work in the Discord for your chance to get featured!
“I Quit Everything to Travel: Here is What Happened…” by @brennenlee ✈️ Yo! This was nothing short of a cinematic travel masterpiece if you ask me. 😮💨 Thank you for sharing your journey of everything you've learned and experienced this past year. I feel like this is the perfect choice for our first Films spotlight of 2026, for anyone else that might find themselves in the same predicament. This was beautifully shot and I love the choice to utilize both handheld and stabilized footage when it fits.🎥 Really hope I see more from you!

“HongKong Memories” by @hzn262 🏙 The compositions of these are DOPE! 🤯 Great color grade on these as well, there's so much life and feeling in each of these photographs. I hope you continue to bring your camera along with you to more of your travels because these are such unique shots. 🗺 Great job!

There were no Video Postcard submissions for this week, which means the next one could be yours. 👀🌎 If you’re experimenting, traveling, or capturing small moments, drop your work in the Discord below! 👇
APCC has always been about showing up, paying attention, and creating with intention. 🙏This year, we’re doubling down on that which means more community stories, more tips to learn how to take control over your own creative direction, and more space to grow together. I'll catch y'all next week! ✌️
