Still: A Mindful Practice for Photographers - a book by Paul Sanders
“More than a photography book, Still is a must-have guide for anyone seeking calm and clarity in their creative life”
Photography saved me before I even knew I was lost.
For years, I lived life at a frantic pace, chasing the "perfect shot" while burning out behind the scenes. Still isn't just a book about photography; it is the culmination of my journey back to myself. I wrote this for the seekers, the tired souls, and the creatives who feel like they’ve lost their spark.
I want to show you that a camera isn’t just a tool for capturing light—it’s a gateway to presence. Whether you are a professional photographer or someone who simply uses their phone to document life, this practice is about slowing down to see what’s actually in front of you.
In a world that demands we move faster, choosing to be still is a radical act of self-care. Through this book, I invite you to put down the technical manuals and pick up a new way of seeing. We explore:
Creative Renewal: Moving past burnout by finding joy in the process, not just the result.
Visual Meditation: Using your viewfinder to ground yourself in the present moment.
Intentional Artistry: Learning to photograph with emotional honesty rather than just technical precision.
Finding the Extraordinary: Discovering profound beauty in the quiet, mundane corners of your everyday life.
Still is designed to be a companion. It’s filled with metaphorical imagery and poetic reflections intended to lower your heart rate and open your eyes. This is your invitation to stop "taking" photos and start receiving them.
Let’s find the stillness together.
