I'm Mel

Before we can talk about seeing clearly, I think we need to talk about why so many of us can't, why an overstimulated mind physically struggles to notice detail, no matter how often we are told to " just be present"

I know that feeling myself

Years of chasing the next shot, left me admiring photographs more than experiencing the moments behind them.

I've also explored comtemplative photography traditions that focus on perception and seeing clearly, some it resonated deeply, some of it didn't quite fit they way I wanted to teach.

I don't think for many of us that it's a talent problem.

I think most of us were never taught to pause

To let the camera follow our attention, instead of worry , uncertainty & anxiety leading the camera.

This is the work I do, bringing together photography, observation, and a genuinely simple understanding of the nervous system so that picking up a camera can feel like coming back to yourself, rather than performing for an audience.
