Refocus Your Present. Photography and Mindfulness​

Taller con Nacho Rivera

Jueves 23 de mayo

Nowadays, attention has become our most precious asset. Throughout the day, distractions take over our time, energy, and creativity. To counter this inertia, training attention is essential, and for this, photography is a very powerful tool, as it demands full concentration: we can only photograph here and now. Analyzing the intimate relationship between photography and mindfulness, and with a purely practical approach, this workshop invites you to work on your personal photographic gaze, to discover new creative possibilities, and to explore different creation strategies. It also proposes to reflect on the purpose of our images, to seek meaning in our work and thus better understand our way of seeing. At the end of the workshop, students will have new tools to mature and better interpret their personal gaze, cultivate attention, and enjoy the photographic act with creative intent.  

Nacho Rivera

He is a documentary photographer based in London. With a serene and artistic approach, Nacho’s photography delights in the details, highlighting the subtle and unexpected. His images invite reflection, with a marked interest in narrative. As a photography teacher and mentor, he has shared his knowledge and experience in schools such as Lycée Français Charles De Gaulle and Kings College in London, and his photographs have been published in numerous media outlets. Currently, he teaches photography workshops and mentorships online and in person in London and Spain. Parallel to his commercial and teaching work, Nacho Rivera develops personal photographic projects with a marked humanistic perspective. “Photography helps me understand the world, and myself, from a humanistic perspective. I am interested in the concept of connection: between people, our environment, and ourselves. I am concerned that modern society is becoming more individualistic, polarized, and superficial. In response, my curiosity about cultures leads me to explore the subtle links between them, raising questions about values such as empathy, respect, and spirituality. For my personal projects, I choose to work with black and white film. Using analogue cameras forces me to photograph more slowly and attentively, allowing me to establish more intimate connections with the people and spaces I photograph.” -Nacho Rivera
