the mindful Photographer

The Mindful Photographer is more than a photography course. Inside I’ve integrating mindful and holistic aspects that complement the photography practice.

What led me to merge these two practices was a question constantly in my mind: “How can I take great pictures, and evoke the emotions of the moment if I don’t feel present in that exact moment?”

Photography is presence. And when I realized that, my entire perception changed: my photography style started to align with what I wanted to represent in my work. If your mind is constantly on something else, thinking about the future, past, or things you need to solve in your everyday life, you won’t be able to connect with the present moment and you’ll likely lose momentum.

Together, we will not only learn the basic principles of film photography, and how to start marketing yourself and navigate this industry, but we’ll concentrate on you, what excites you, and what makes your soul thrive. With practice and exercises you’ll learn how to be present, and how to connect with your creativity. This way you’ll be able to witness a true change in your mindset and you’ll see how your business will thrive for this new energy flow. My biggest aim is to guide you into seeing things from a different, fresh, and more aligned perspective.

The course consists of 1:1 lessons tailored to your individual needs and goals. Each session is designed to guide you to explore photography in a meaningful and authentic way.
