Charles Needle  |
Mindful Photography: Seeing in a Different Light Charles will teach you how to approach
any subject with fresh eyes and learn to see on a much deeper
level. Drawing upon
inspiring quotations and images from other photographers who
have most profoundly influenced his work, as well as his own
personal "Zen moments" in the field, Charles will share ways in
which you can engage your mind, eye and heart so they are all in
perfect synchronization, making you a better photographer and
more in tune with your subject. Charles is a
fine art photographer whose workshops have attracted students
nationwide. His photographs have been published widely and are
in private and public collections. You can see more of his work
on his website
