Workshops

Photography as a way of seeing differently

​

Seeing The Now workshops are an invitation to explore photography in a slower, more playful way. Rather than focusing on camera techniques or the finished image, we use photography as a starting point for looking, noticing and responding to whatever draws our attention.

​

Each workshop combines simple photographic and mindful exercises with time to wander, experiment and follow your curiosity. There is no right or wrong way to approach the exercises, and no pressure to come away with a “good” photograph. What matters is the process of looking and what you might discover along the way.

​

Many workshops take place outdoors, where nature, changing light and the seasons offer endless opportunities to look more deeply. However, this approach to photography can be explored anywhere—from a woodland path to a city street.

​

No photography experience or specialist equipment is needed. Your phone camera is absolutely fine.

“The tutor was warm and open in the way she explained what she was inviting us to do. There was just enough guidance and structure to help focus our exploration of the woodland without restricting it.” — L

“I really liked the use of focus words. They led me in unexpected directions during the workshop, which was a wonderful surprise. I use nature photography to support my mental wellbeing, as it encourages me to focus on the present moment and step away from the pressures of work.” — E
