    The Dopamine Chase - the power of scent in image-making

    Guess what? Today, we're diving into something super cool and a bit geeky, but its popped up in a few conversations today so I thought I might share as it is oh-so-relevant to what we do here at Dora Jean Creation in our imagemaking. Ever wondered why some images just stick with you, or why you can't help but hit that 'share' button? let me introduce you to our brain's very own hype-man: dopamine! yes I know theres a lot of talk about it lately but guess what? It's also got everything to do with how we remember , replay, recall and connect imagery and music and moments and maybe even training videos. I just had a meeting on finance and believe it or not we discussed the power of scent also, how stores use it and how it makes us buy. So, let's take a little adventure into the world of dopamine delights, guided by none other than yours truly and the incredible work of Dora Jean Creation. Imagine dopamine as that awesome DJ at the best party you've ever been to, getting everyone on their feet and making the night unforgettable. In the world of online scrolling and swiping, dopamine is what makes us feel all the good vibes when we see something truly amazing. It's the secret sauce that keeps us coming back for more, craving those visual feasts and soulful beats. Tik Tok is the king of dopamine at the minute. but what about the training world or office space or even spotify. Now, enter the stage, Dora Jean Creation - not just any artist, but a photographic designer who's like a wizard at capturing moments that make your brain dance with joy. Think of your favorite track , one that you can't help but play on repeat because it just feels so darn good, or that video of the man falling down the icey stars that you keep replaying and laughing harder then you probably shold. That's dopamine in action, folks! So, how does this magic happen? Simple! It's all about creating images that don't just catch your eye but tug at your heartstrings and tickle your brain cells in all the right ways. our aim is to master this by mixing vibrant colors, stunning compositions, and that sprinkle of movement and mystery that on occassion makes you wanna dive into the picture. It can be like a visual concert, where every element is perfectly tuned to make your dopamine levels hit the high notes. And here's the kicker for us in the art and music biz: understanding this dopamine dance can totally revolutionize how we connect with our audience. By crafting experiences that aren't just seen or heard but truly felt, we create those unforgettable encores that keep our fans coming back for more. tik tok does this by adding filters, you get a dopamine hit each time you add that bold glamour filter or the dog ear filter So, as we jam out in this digital world, let's take a leaf out of this sensory playbook. Let's blend art, science, and a dash of dopamine magic to not just create but to resonate, leaving a lasting impression that's as powerful as a chart-topping hit. Thanks for tuning in to today's beat on the science of engagement. Keep creating, keep inspiring, and let's make every piece of our work a hit that gets everyone talking, sharing, and loving what we do. Thank you for listening please like and share . See you soon

    2023 - Strengths Finder (aimed at Amateur photographers)

    Hey there, welcome to my video! Today I'm here to talk with you guys about identifying your personal strengths and setting yourself up for success. Are you ready to make the most out of life and reach your full potential? Let's start by talking about the importance of identifying your personal strengths. For me, one of my personal strengths is photography. I love capturing memories and moments that I can hold onto forever. It allows me to express my creativity and my emotions in a way that I can't with words. It's a way for me to express myself in a tangible form. Another strength of mine is planting the seed of ambition and willing to take risks. I'm not afraid to take a chance and go for something that I want - because I know there will be a reward for me in the end. I'm constantly setting goals for myself, both small and large, so that I can stay on track with pushing myself further. And lastly, my most important strength is having faith in myself and not being afraid of failure. Everyone makes mistakes and the best part is that we can learn from them. If we don't try, we'll never know what we are capable of. Have faith in yourself and know you can do whatever you set your mind to achieve! Those are just a few of my personal strengths, but there are so many more out there that are unique to each individual. Take some time to really think about what your personal strengths are and how you can use them to set yourself up for success. So don't be afraid to embrace your strengths and use them to reach your goals. I know it's easier said than done, but you can do it. Good luck and get out there and make your dreams come true!
