Proprioceptive Photography in Nature: A Body-Based Approach

Proprioception (body sensation) is your body's felt sense. This workshop focuses on three proprioceptive languages - Breath, Movement and Stillness - for photographing in nature.

In the first half of this workshop, you will learn basic tools of body awareness to provide bodily support and increased ease for varied postures in composition. Working collaboratively with your body increases mental focus and physical composure to capture innovative and unusual perspectives. We will then go out into the natural environment to apply these tools for the second half of the workshop.

Bring your camera and wear comfortable clothing for shooting outdoors.
