Mindful in Nature

Photography is a great way to explore your creativity and envelop yourself in your surroundings. To get the best photographs we need to take time to observe and wait for the perfect moment. We’re also ever more conscious that mindfulness is important for our health and state of mind. Combining the two brings us close to the world around us and at the same time allows us to escape.

You can use a mobile phone or camera for this workshop. a fancy camera isn’t needed on our mindfulness photo workshops.

Taking time will allow us to connect with what we see and observe how light affects and changes it, improving both our photography and allowing us to just be immersed in the moment.

Nature

On this workshop NATURE will be the main theme. We’ll be spending our time immersed in it photographically, taking time to observe how light interplays with it and exploring ways to capture stillness and life in it.

This is a gentle photography workshop. It’s about time and light and peace of mind. We’ll look at how we can make images using colours and shapes but also explore the black and white medium to change what we photograph into tones in the absence of colour. Sometimes this approach will also change mood.

You don’t need fancy equipment for this workshop. If you have a decent camera then bring it – you will get the most from the day if you do – but if you don’t then bring your smartphone or tablet.

If you’d like to relax and learn photography at the same time, then why not join us?
