Below are some of the intersections between photography and mindfulness practice that I discovered for myself. More info: dstnctartmedia.com Seeing Beyond the Surface: Photography teaches you to look beyond the obvious, to find beauty or interest in unexpected places. Similarly, mindfulness encourages a deeper awareness of your surroundings, thoughts, and feelings, helping you see beyond surface-level perceptions. Creativity and Exploration: With photography, you’re always exploring new angles, settings, and techniques to express your vision. Mindfulness fosters a similar openness to exploration, encouraging curiosity about our inner and outer worlds without preconceived notions. Connection and Empathy: Through the lens, photographers often capture emotions, telling stories that foster empathy and connection. Mindfulness practice enhances empathy, making us more attuned to the feelings of others and our environment, promoting a deeper connection to the world around us. Incorporating mindfulness into your photography can not only improve your shots by making you more attuned to the subtleties of your environment and subject but also enhance your enjoyment and appreciation of the process. It’s a beautiful synergy, blending the art of seeing with the art of being present. Follow Bored Panda on Google News! Follow us on Flipboard.com/@boredpanda!
