Your guide to mindful photography, peaceful contemplation and a
slow creative practice, including hands-on assignments,
enlightening concepts and inspirational stories. In a world where
millions of images are shot at every moment of every day and where
fast-paced environments exhaust and stifle creativity, The Mindful
Photographer proposes an antidote: slowing down. Through twenty
concepts as varied as 'Confidence', 'Gratitude', 'Playfulness' and
'Compassion', all combined with hands-on assignments, Sophie
Howarth invites readers to reflect on their photographic practice
and learn to pause, pay attention and become more at one with the
world around them. From the canonical to the contemporary, The
Mindful Photographer features the works of photographers including
Saul Leiter, Rinko Kawauchi, Sally Mann, Edward Weston, Gueorgui
Pinkhassov, Teju Cole, Sarker Protick, Tamsin Calidas and many
more. Their images are accompanied by quotes, stories and anecdotes
to inspire the reader, simultaneously broadening their photographic
knowledge and creative perspectives. Putting aside preconceived
ideas and the competitive pressures of picture-perfect Instagram
posts, the book rewires our relationship to photographic practice
as one to be experienced as unconditionally joyful and rewarding.
Sophie Howarth's insightful and soothing texts work as a guide to
both a mindful approach to photography, and a photographic approach
to meditation. Offered in a highly affordable and pocketable
format, this will be the must-have companion for anyone seeking the
spiritual benefits of creative practice and a more mindful approach
to engaging with their world through photography.
