I’ve been running online group classes recently. My approach to photography is about experiencing the world as a visual space. It is to see things - and then show them - differently. That’s the photography side. With regards mental health, I’d argue practising it lies somewhere between enjoyment, meditation, and escape. And apart from this, the assignment given after the first session is both an opportunity and a reason to get outside during these dark, winter months.
I’m thrilled by how teams have engaged with the ideas, and so it is with pleasure that I can share a selection of attendees’ images which have resulted from these sessions:
As you’d expect, many were taken on weekend walks: leaves, autumn, and a chill in the air.
Others, on lunch breaks and evening strolls, found inspiration in the cities and towns.
Many of the images were shot at home. This resulted in a few cats (perhaps too few for my taste), various details of household objects, and even a DJ.
Some went creative…
… and others went all the way to abstract.
I’m really enjoying these and intend to continue after things return to normality. If you’d like to take part, get in touch.
