Overview

Photograph differently. Live more fully.You love photography... but feel like something has been lost along the way? The joy. The spontaneity. The curiosity. In a world saturated with images, we often photograph too quickly, too mechanically-until we no longer truly see. What if photography became a space to breathe again? A refuge. A path of presence. A way to slow down and reconnect with the moment. In this book, Laurent Barrera offers an inspiring and accessible approach: Full Presence in Photography. A way of being behind the lens that is more attentive, more free, and more alive. Inspired by Zen, Wabi-sabi, Ikigai, and the Toltec Agreements, this approach transforms photographic practice into an art of attention-and a powerful tool for personal growth. The book features a foreword by photographer and author Stéphane Hette, who highlights the deeply human, sensitive, and embodied dimension of this way of practicing photography. Inside, you will discover 25 practical photographic exercises, simple and easy to implement in everyday life. These exercises are not about performance-they are about experience, presence, and rediscovering the pleasure of photographing. What You'll Find in This Book Simple and essential concepts to nourish your inner gaze Attention rituals and creative routines that fit naturally into daily life A wide variety of hands-on exercises (photowalks, creative challenges, micro-exploration...)
