@chasing.candice: I recently presented Mindful Travel Photography: Capturing Your Journey for a Deeper Experience at the DIY Trip Summit. The full presentation is linked in my bio. ⁠ ⁠ Let’s start with something that I consider foundational to mindful travel photography: respect. This means recognizing that every person, place, and moment has a story, and it’s our responsibility to approach those stories with respect and understanding.⁠ ⁠ Mindfulness is the act of fully recognizing, respecting and appreciating the depth of every person, place and experience. Extending this mindfulness to your travels will inherently change you. You can never be a tourist again. You are a traveler now. This traveler’s state of mind is with you always.⁠ ⁠ Mindfulness in travel allows you to experience more depth in every interaction. Be warned: mindfulness opens your heart and mind. You will be more curious, compassionate and understanding. Your movements through the world will be different.⁠ ⁠ A mindful traveler with a camera in hand will see the world in a whole new, unique way. As you step into this new role as a mindful travel photographer, there will be some tough growth edges. As travel photographers, we might let ourselves run away with wanting to capture anything and everything. But as mindful travel photographers, we recognize the potential harm with that approach.
