'Seeing' beyond seeing
In photography, mindfulness is like observing something for the first
time, even though you may have looked at it a thousand times before and
it involves a deep kind of knowing.
As experienced photographers, we often create images that are
technically "correct" and "well" composed but are still missing some
intangible aesthetic that we experienced at the moment of creation.
Mindful photography infers that while technical proficiency, and an eye
for composition are necessary skills, they are not always sufficient to
capture the essence of our experience, and therefore emphasizes the
importance of training our minds to use all of your senses in order to
experience the world differently; to see awe and wonder in what we
normally think of as "ordinary.
"Mindful photography is an art and rests on the photographer's skill and
ability to self-efface and focus on the subject/object, thereby
providing an authentic visualisation of the image.
This collection of carefully curated photographs has been put together
with the view to bring different global landscapes under one luxury
book, providing visual art at its best.
Packed with inspiration, each image is coupled with a quote from the
photographer's circle of friends and family. Each image depicts one
moment in time across the many continents which Abhi has travelled to
since he was a very young person.
