Listen "Ep44 - Paul Sanders: Listening To Our Heart and Finding Our Soul Through Photography "
Episode Synopsis
Join Kim Grant as she speaks with contemplative photographer Paul Sanders. Paul began his photography career as a news photographer. He shares how, despite achieving everything he'd dreamt of in his career, he was left feeling unfulfilled and battling mental and physical health issues. Since then he has been on a journey of self discovery, resulting in him adopting a more mindful and contemplative approach to his photography. Paul's words are very thought provoking and may change how you see and engage with your photography moving forwards.
