Beautiful work by Ava! I love experimental techniques ❤️👌
Whispers of Summer.
I started this project with submerged flowers, using acrylic ink and water, + a boatload of patience. The image below was one of my first trial and error with this technique.

I've gotten into paper craft a bit lately. Started with some origami and thought why not create something for a still life :).

Quite relaxing and fun to explore paper as a material in a mindful way 👍

It's been wonderful to observe the opening of this Amaryllis. A very welcome view during this flowerless period 🌸❄️

Soap bubbles and dissolving bath additive :).
Observing and capturing all the different variations that showed up relaxed me so much. Smelled nice too 😅. Definitely a project I'll come back to!

I compare creating flower portraits to photographing humans very much. It's all about capturing that personality. Love me the attitude of that lily. 💁‍♀️

Hi everybody!
I thought it could be good to introduce myself here with a grid I've put together.
Glad to meet you! 🌸
I'm Henrik, living in Austria - and wildlife and the small world occupies most of my photography. Bokeh plays a big role in many of my photos.

About two weeks ago we got burried in snow and I found a huge cluster of icicles. Didn't think I'd ever capture a low key icicle 😅. Also a huge one that formed around a little branch fascinated me.

Benefits of mindful photography
Reason No. 5:
Personal growth

It increases awareness of how one acts and reacts and provides room to practice new ways and habits. Working on personal growth is like sports. Training and repetition build those new muscles 💪.

Benefits of mindful photography
Reason No. 4:
Releasing emotions

Very often art also is therapeutic. Feeling what needs to be felt while expressing it through creating is powerful. Especially when you do it mindfully.

Totally enjoying Glen's showcase of Australian wild orchids and other flora ❤️👀
Red beard orchid (Calochilus paludosus) out near the Genoa River, VIC - an interesting species with prominent apex tail at the tip of the beard. A handful of plants out here in open grassland - with purple beards (C. robertsonii) also out nearby #orchids #spring #inthefield #ozplants #nature

Benefits of mindful photography
Reason No. 3:
Meditation

There are different ways to use mindful photography as a tool to practice meditation. One is to activate all of your senses to be present in the very moment.

Benefits of mindful photography
Reason No. 2:
Slowing down

I think our fast paced lives need little islands that help us to slow down. Photographing mindfully is a great tool to find relief and relax.

Benefits of mindful photography Reason No. 1:
Shifting focus

Our brains are wired to watch out for threats and negative things to keep us save. Establishing a routine of looking for beauty and the good helps to balance this.

Really enjoyed this documentary about Robert Mapplethorpe:

I love his work and how he contributed to making photography seen as art.

But why is it that creative genius comes with drug abuse and an unhealthy lifestyle so often? 🤔
