Join professional photographer Celie Nigoumi for a gentle Photowalk around Heal Somerset, combining creativity, nature and the simple pleasure of slowing down.
Through a short grounding exercise, you’ll be guided into a more relaxed and attentive headspace before setting off to explore the landscape with your camera. Along the way, Celie will share practical photography and storytelling techniques to help you notice more, see differently and give you confidence to take better photos.
This walk is not about about making perfect photos but more about the joy of looking, practising observation while being present in nature and giving yourself space to switch off from the everyday.
Whether you’re an experienced photographer or simply enjoy taking photos on your phone, come and fill your creative cup, connect with nature and meet others seeking a slower pace of life.
What to expect:
Meet at the visitor car park at Heal Somerset where you will be directed to our community nature barn for a welcome and introduction with Celie
Get into a relaxed and inspired headspace through a short grounding exercise
Be guided through techniques to observe your surroundings with more intention
Learn what to pay special attention to when taking photos, with insight into storytelling and technical processes
You’ll have the opportunity to ask Celie any questions as you go and she will offer 1:1 photography support
The group will finish by chatting about our experience and learnings over a cup of tea, and share the images we made (if we’d like to!)
