In Photography as Meditation from Rocky Nook, Torsten Andreas Hoffmann examines artistic photography through a unique exploration of Japanese Zen Philosophy. When comparing photography to meditation, it is discussed that both are rooted in the present moment, both require complete focus, and both are most successful when the mind is free from distractions. An example of this philosophy is apparent when photographing busy scenes. In order to compose a well-balanced image in a chaotic setting, an inner calm is required. In this thought-provoking book, Hoffman shows how meditation and tranquility can lead to profound inspiration. In the digital era there is an ideology that expensive equipment and technical mastery produce great imagery, but as this guide points out, being self-aware and tapping into your deeper self is a powerful and crucial component in the creative process.
