How Ciao Muse Works:

Using images from your iPhone or uploaded from your personal camera, you will interactively learn each concept. With many sections and levels of difficulty, you will be challenged and develop your creative ability from novice to master.

Begin by “Building a Foundation”, using elements of design and principles of design including color, texture, balance, movement and more.

Continue to grow as you begin to implement “Creative Possibilities”, exploring creative techniques and lighting techniques including abstraction, perspective, back lighting, contrast and more.


There is a Mentor section in each category to provide you with facts and theory of the creative principles of art that will guide you though each concept.

Looking for more inspiration? The Muse section in each category is available to inspire creative thought and to challenge your ability to apply the concepts to your images.


This app is based on "Capturing Your Creativity”, a creativity  course using photography taught by Teri ONeill Keller, a Creativity expert and coach, as well as an accomplished artist & photographer.

Artists and photographers on the cutting edge explore new modes of perception through the senses and new forms of imagination to develop their photographic voice.
