This is actually about more than intuitive photography, but rather photography as an expression of Emotional Intelligence (EQ). It even includes some NLP ... beyond visual to photography as auditory, sensual, olfactory & gustatory experiences. Very valuable introduction to the non-technical side for those of us who become too concerned with f-stops, apertures, white balance, histograms, yada-yada. Thank you Mindy & B&H for your newsletter.
This presentation really spoke to me, it is definitely part of my photography that has been missing. I could feel the change happening even before I picked my camera. I will be looking for more about Mindy and her work.
This talk spoke more to my photographic sensibilities than anything I've seen. I constantly wonder what I should be doing differently to eventually be one of the cool kids in the photography lunch room. I am new to photography - a transplant from Writer's Island - and very obsessed with the medium. It is nice to hear that I'm not alone in my ways. So far I am 100% self taught, and something is working...but it is all intuition so far. I worry that it can't be sustained, but now I feel a little more secure in my madness. thank you.
It is important to keep that fluid balance between our technical know-how, gear and creative approach. It's great for B&H to invest in teaching photographers how to explore their creativity not just the technical points of how to harness it.
How about honing your technical skills to the point where they become largely intuitive? Then they don't get so much in the way of creativity. Plus you're likely to end up with images that are both, technically *and* artistically satisfying.
Those who dislike this kind of photography educational lesson must be the ones using light meter to measure the sun while doing causal street photography --- too high profile & not practical my friend. She is right about so many things, as you can learn so much about the elements involved with the exposure triangle, shutter speed, aperture & iso; however, it takes years of practice as well as a healthy mentality to become a great a photographer or an artist.
HI Will - so glad you resonated with this approach! I'm about to launch an online course about intuitive photography. You may want to check it out at www.artofintuitivephotography.com/ecourse
Valuable insights and ideas here that resonate with my personal project to become more spontaneous (intuitive) with my photography. More slides with pictures and fewer slides with text would have improved the presentation.
Self-improvement hits photography. Why not, that was to be expected. It won't harm you, unless you spend money on it. But don't expect miracles either. Only 5 photographs to demonstrate what the concepts can do for you? (She has more in her portfolio, though). Not the Tony Robbins of photography, but at least she is nice. I particularly liked the earring vanishing trick, she does right after 12:05. That is really amazing.
Dear Mindy, If you could please see your way and answer the following question that has been puzzling me of late, and that is what do you think about Pre-Visualisation photography as compared to instinctive/ Intuitive or The Decisive Moment photography of (Henri Cartier-Bresson). And which one would you consider as being the best method for improving one’s photography. 1
"I see, I see", said the blind man to his wife as he picked up the hammer and saw. Kidding aside, Mr.Russo (below) is right. We do need more of this kind of vlogs and teaching.

But its is psychic 100% with is actually more natural. We are taught to shot down the voice of intuition.. but its in our nature. As human beings and psychic beings
You have to show more pictures And do less talk! What we want to see is your workflow more pictures usually explain photographer's creativity and passion! Thanks anyway!!!!!!

We need more of this type of education in photography.

I love Mindy's teaching style, if you are ever in NYC take her night photography class at Lincoln Center completely blew mind my mind away
Thanks, George!

Very nice, with a ton of great reminders for creative types. Thank you, Mindy, and thank you B&H for hosting her.
Thanks for viewing, Mike!
Mike - I'm so glad you resonated with what I said! Thank you for your kind words.

One of the best lectures on the subject I have seen - Thanks
I'm glad you enjoyed it!

I'm so glad you enjoyed the video and resonated with what I said. I've just launched a 4 week online course to go over this approach more thoroughly!
Very happy that someone so elegantly described what I experience whenever I take photographs. I didn't know this term existed.

I absolutely love her monochrome shots. She shoots a lot like I do when out and about.

Beautiful talk.
I have been noticing a tremendous improvement in all aspects of my photography, since meditation entered my Life...

just bought your book, will start reading it tomorrow in the desert :) thanks again!
Thanks so much for buying the book! Enjoy!
So glad i followed my intuition to watch this video:)
my question is, How is Mother Nature not perfect? According to the human perception?
The "heart" and the "head" are all the mind. It's really just about improvisation with perception, much like musicians improvise with scales.
thank you for sharing your thoughts, this is exactly how i like to experience photography. It IS meditation.
I'm glad you feel the same way!
Great course! Thanks

very intuitive you solved a very important question.
Too much talk, without supporting photos. The session would be much better with photos that support the words, along the speach.
Miro Zilaji Did you not make it far enough into the video? The photos are few, but absolutely terrific.
dope!
photos start at 25:00
Thanks !!
So glad you resonate with this, Andreas!

mmm VAK is so wrong. She has made something simple...very complicated
pfff it doesn't matter how she calls the type of photography she does, they are still plain, boring and dull.
