Photography as Meditation with Brian Relph
October 7th-12th 2018
In this immersion, participants will have the opportunity to explore images that speak deeply within and will learn to create images through the medium of photography. Various approaches to contemplative photography will be covered as the questions are asked: “Where is the attention drawn? What messages do these images convey?” Join this opportunity to see the world again through a lens of childlike wonder.
