i-Nature

i-Nature Photography Workshop in essence is a Nature Photography Workshop. It is not only about technicalities in photography but focus is given more to the philosophy behind it. In fact, technicalities are secondary.
There are 3 major objectives for this workshop: -

  1. Higher awareness
    Awareness refers to our motive in photography. It’s the why we shoot what we shoot, the internal feelings and emotions and the part of internal self that wanting to express and experience.
  2. Appreciate nature
    Appreciation in nature comes from the awareness that we a part of nature, that we are not separate but an immediate extension of bigger picture. When we are not separate, we will be thinking and have considerations of what we do and the consequences. Ideally, we will become the cause instead of because! (effect)
  3. Learning to see that leads to taking better photos
    Learning to see is seeing others or nature as a part and not apart. Each photo is reflections of self – part of self. We are expressing and experiencing parts of self by utilizing tools that we are comfortable with – camera.

It’s like a painter using any medium accessible to express his/her artistry. Learning to see is to break away from preconceived paradigm, becoming receptive and allowing direct and indirect new information to influence experiences towards the subject.
