Mindful Photography
Using photography as a method for enhancing well-being.
This workshop blends photography with mindfulness, offering a powerful method to enhance mental well-being.

Mindfulness Photography Workshops and Photo Walks in Falmouth & Truro, Cornwall
Mindfulness photography is a transformative practice that blends the art of photography with the principles of mindfulness. My photography workshops emphasise this unique approach to help participants develop a deeper connection with their surroundings and creative process. By integrating mindfulness into photography, I guide my participants to see the world with fresh eyes, fully immersing themselves in the present moment and capturing images that truly resonate with authenticity and emotion.
At the heart of mindfulness photography is the idea of slowing down and paying close attention to the details that often go unnoticed. During the workshops, I encourage participants to pause, breathe, and observe their environment with a non-judgmental awareness. This allows them to capture images that are not just visually appealing but also rich in meaning and personal significance.
The workshops are designed for those of all skill levels, from beginners to advanced practitioners. I provide a supportive environment where participants can explore their creativity without the pressure of perfection. Through guided exercises and hands-on practice, I teach techniques that help photographers cultivate a mindful approach to their craft. This includes exercises in breath awareness, sensory exploration, and intentional seeing, all of which are designed to heighten one’s awareness of light, texture, colour, and composition.
One of the key benefits of mindfulness photography is its ability to enhance the creative process. By fostering a deep sense of presence, photographers can tap into their intuition and capture moments of genuine beauty and emotion. This practice not only improves technical skills but also nurtures a more profound connection to the art of photography.
By the end of our mindfulness photography workshop, participants leave with more than just beautiful images—they gain a renewed sense of awareness and a deeper appreciation for the world around them. Whether you want to enhance your photography skills or seek a new way to connect with your surroundings, my mindfulness photography workshop offers a unique and enriching experience that will stay with you long after the session ends.
