Photography and Well Being

I’ve mentioned in other “Blogs having a say” that I find photography therapeutic . I find the creative process adds value to my feelings of well being . When on station as a photographer all other worldly responsibilities take a back seat.

Whether consciously or sub-consciously being in the photographic zone and the full immersion of decision making , light, subject matter and composition all lends itself to to elements of Well being and Mindfulness

Learning and developing skills fast tracks positive feelings even when things go wrong , the try try again mind set fuels greater effort until the creative pay back is achieved

Aside from the mental benefit I derive from photography, the close ally of physical well being features. Getting outdoors to capture images just adds so much to the activity .

I feel well grounded with my life happy, content, working with a smile on my face , riding the vehicle of photography .
