Mindful Photowalk – Noticing Architectural Details in Kensington Mews
Details
Join us for a mindful photography walk! This isn't just another photography meetup - it's an invitation to slow down, get curious and notice with fresh eyes.
What to Expect
We will be using playful prompt cards to heighten our awareness and experiment with ways of looking. Our cameras become the perfect sidekicks. The beauty of doing this as a group is that we can inspire each other to look in fresh new ways. We focus on different themes each time we meet, this time it will be about noticing quirky architectural details in London.
Location:
Kensington Mews - this area is considered by many travellers as the "prettiest mews in London" and yet most Londoners have never visited. It winds around, has hidden nooks, and is full of colourful doors and greenery. There’s even a house covered in vines. Let's pretend to be tourists in our own cities?
Vibe:
Notice your own attentional biases
Practice beginner's mind in what you see
Work with three experiment cards
Create images and push your boudaries
Be inspired by others
Who is this for?
Beginners, experienced pros - all are welcome.
You can walk a little or a lot: we start and finish in the same place.
No technical expertise required - this is about the mindful process, not perfect pictures.
What to bring with you:
Camera or smartphone
Fully charged battery and spare if possible
Weather-appropriate clothing
Small plastic bag to sit or kneel on
Tripods not needed
Water bottle and light snacks
