Walking Workshops

​

When we go on a 'walking workshop' together there will be a moment of visual stimulation, something will catch your eye which you decide you want to photograph...but before you press the shutter I will ask you to take a deep breath and make sure you are fully present in the NOW.

​

In meditation, the breath is often used as an anchor; the thing we return to when we notice sensations, thoughts or feelings.

​​

In Mindful Photography, we return to 'seeing' so as you hold your breath I will ask you to think about what it was that stopped you in your tracks? What made you connect to the visual nature of the scene? 

​

​The more you practice mindfulness the more you will discover about yourself. If you choose to return regularly to the same location, to spend time slowly exploring the visual feast available you may begin to see beauty which once eluded you. This ability, cultivated through mindful photography, can support you to look at your daily experience with fresh eyes.

“One doesn’t stop seeing. One doesn’t stop framing. It doesn’t turn off and turn on. It’s on all the time.”  Annie Leibovitz
