Zen in PhotographysteemCreated with Sketch.

There is a sub genre in photography called "Zen photography"

As Zen is about being aware of the moment, and accepting the moment, and trying to shoot nearly in mediatation
thus Zent photography comes naturally with an empty mind.

It is about
waiting for the moment , intuitvely without think about,
it is about
not planning to much in advance but strive and see what happens.
It is about
THE NOW,
not the past or the future

Often it does result in minimalist images, reduced to the essentials!
Often Photographers in that sub genre shot only with a mechanical lens, sometimes even with film
to not rely on the technical side of photography, but on their inutition and their heart.

Here are two zen like images from my practise which you hopefully enjoy
