Join Kim Grant as she speaks with Ruth Davey, the founder of Look Again Photography. Ruth is a mindful photography practitioner and trainer based in England. She shares how her own battles with mental health led her on a path to discovering mindfulness and photography. From this experience, she began to create her own photographic vision, leading her on to help and teach others ways of using their camera as a way to coping with theirs. She also shares her passion for making photography accessible to all and her love for spending time in solitude.
