The Slow Looking Hour · Mindful Photo Practice - From Lens to Self Festival 2026
What do you notice when you give yourself time to really look?
The Slow Looking Hour is a guided, one-hour photographic practice centred on attention and presence.
During the session, you will receive questions or photographic prompts, then have a few minutes to step away from the screen, explore your surroundings and take a few photographs, explore your thoughts alone, and in group and reflect about what you noticed.
It is a practical pause to slow down, follow your curiosity and see familiar things with fresh eyes.
