CREATE: Mindfulness in Photographyat The Lane Center

CREATE – Cultivating Resilience & Empowering Adaptation Through Expression  JOIN US FOR A FREE MINDFULNESS IN PHOTOGRAPHY CLASS - BEGINNER FRIENDLY, FOR FACULTY AND STAFF  Mindfulness in Photography invites participants to slow down, heighten their awareness, and experience the art of truly seeing through both observation and image-making. The class begins with a gentle introduction to the elements and principles of art and composition, offering simple tools to create photographs with greater beauty and visual impact. During a guided walk in nature, photographers will practice intentional image-making by focusing on a single artistic concept and capturing only ten thoughtfully chosen photographs. In our closing discussion, participants will reflect on one meaningful image and explore how photographing with presence and limitation can cultivate calm, connection, and mindfulness in both body and mind; beginners and all cameras, including phones, are warmly welcome. *Must be able to walk a small distance outdoors.   Instructor Bio: Cas Foste is a fine art photographer and mixed media artist specializing in creative heirloom portraiture and a deep love of working with children, babies, maternity, and family.
