The Mindful Photographer book cover

The Mindful Photographer

Sophie Howarth

My first thought on reading a recommendation for this book was, ‘here we go, another mindfulness book, but this one’s about photography’. Photography and mindfulness did not come together until I picked up this book! It also comes with some mindful activities you can consider applying.

The book is well structured, with great examples, mentioning specific photographers and their way of taking photos. Howarth also offers practical exercises for mindfulness in action in different situations.

I can pick this book up again and return to a meditative, mindful and amateur state of mind whenever I am concerned about how my images should turn out.
