Exploring Photography as a Meditation Practice
In Contemplative Photographer, the camera is viewed as an extension of a person’s heart and mind and the resulting photographs as a visual, and highly personal, diary of experience and creative expression. Where traditional photography focuses on subject and technique, Contemplative Photography teaches you to pause, focus and connect with life. It is a form of meditation, anchoring you in present moment reality. Photographer Minor White is known to have encouraged his students to meditate before they began their camera work. By learning to slow down, focus and connect before clicking the shutter, you’ll discover that ordinary reality can be magical. This class is great for photographers, meditators, artists at heart, or the curious wanting to explore the symbiotic relationship between contemplative practice and photography. You can use whatever camera that is available to you, including your cell phone.
