Mindful Photography: Explore Bristol Through a Camera

Join us for a gentle photographic walk around Bristol's Harbourside, using photography as a way to slow down, notice and connect with the world around you. This workshop introduces the practice of Mindful Photography -- using a camera to help us find moments of calm and attention within our busy lives. You'll be introduced to the core ideas behind mindful photography while learning the basics of using a 35mm film camera. The workshop will begin with a short tour of Joy Gregory: Catching Flies with Honey at Arnolfini, before heading outside for a photographic walk around part of Bristol's iconic Harbourside. As we walk, you'll be encouraged to slow down and consider how you notice and engage with your surroundings through the lens. There will be plenty of opportunities to stop, take photographs, ask questions and take in the scenery. The walk will cover just over a mile at a relaxed pace, with frequent stops along the way.
