Capital Photography Center | Photography Classes in Washington DC, Maryland, Virginia and Online

Mindful Photography

Mindful Photography


This class is held with Dave on Zoom from 7-8:30 pm on Thursdays, January 9 and 16, 2025, and will be recorded in case you miss one. 

Photography can be a meditative process, and by bringing an intentional mindfulness to everyday subjects we can explore the inner life of those subjects and of ourselves.

Blending concepts of Zen, Vipassana, and other contemplative traditions with the art of photography, in this class we’ll combine mindfulness practices with exercises in seeing. Through these practices and exercises, and some brief forays into post-processing, we can come to know ourselves better while finding interest in even the most mundane subjects.

All that's needed for this class is an open mind, any type of camera (including phones), internet access to share images.
