Photography can be a powerful awareness practice. With a camera in my hands, I naturally tune in to what is around me, and to the thoughts and stories in my head. When my attention is scattered, photography helps me slow down and see more clearly.
Guided Photowalks
I am the founder of a community project called Just Looking. Since 2017 we have been meeting for mindfulness practices, philosophical explorations, and silent photowalks across London. The themes are based on different thought experiments each time: for example, testing the suggestion that “impermance is beautiful”, or that the “spaces in between are worthy of attention”. I have led workshops outdoors in the financial district, and cemeteries as well as places like the Museum of Happiness. Online we have a community mindful photography gallery which I curate on Instagram and a regular newsletter in which I share ideas and prompts about perception and photography.
You’re invited! The best way to join us is to sign up for the newsletter.
Past Projects
Snow-Man
It helps to be reminded that some things that remain out of our control.
Silent Solitude
Every sighting is a kind of diptych: bringing together what the eyes see and what the mind thinks.
What My Shoes See on a Rainy Day
A photo every 5 minutes on a disposable camera strapped to my shoe.
