Photography as a Spiritual Practice: Seeing Beyond the Visible

Some artists begin with a concept and then create work to express it. Others, like myself, create intuitively and later uncover the meaning behind what we’ve made. I have always walked a fine line between these two approaches—between instinct and intention, surrender and control. As a young BFA student studying art, graphic design, and photography, it took me years to understand the difference between art and design. And even longer to give myself permission to be an artist again after immersing myself in the structured, goal-oriented world of design. But even before I knew how to put it into words, [...]

Beyond Form: Exploring Presence

Photography as a Spiritual Practice: Capturing Energy in Motion

Everything is energy—light, movement, even the essence of a place. Photography, at its core, is about harnessing light, freezing fleeting moments into something we can hold onto. But what if it could go deeper? What if, instead of just documenting, we could capture the energy itself—the pulse of a space, the feeling of a moment, the unseen forces at play? Lately, I’ve been experimenting with motion and light painting, not just as a technique but as a way to tune into the spirit of a place. By letting the camera move with me, I’m starting to capture something I’ve always [...]
