The Psychological Benefits of Photography

EUPHORIC MEMORY FILE CABINET –

July 12, 2023 – The world is fast-paced and extremely geared towards telling us how to live, think, act, and what to value. Photography allows us to be totally free. We can share our view of the world and display what we feel is important with the simple click of a shutter and a nicely written caption.

Photography is a practice that provides a pressure release, where our feelings, perspectives, and emotions can be out in the open allowing us to be a step closer to being truly understood by ourselves and others. When practicing photography, we have the ability to validate our life experiences and connect more meaningfully with others. We can also begin to head towards achieving self-actualization, the ultimate place of individual growth and fulfillment. This process enables us to explore ourselves and our surroundings more profoundly, creating connections with others who share our journey. This is why photography so quickly becomes more than just a hobby, but a practice that challenges us, forces setbacks and breakthroughs, and enhances our mental well-being.
