Increases creative problem solving
We are more open to 'Aha' experiences, and photography is all about problem solving.
The University of Sydney found subjects to have a 430% increase in creative problem solving!
Improves attention & concentration
Flow triggers like Rich Environments and Awe improve focus and attention.
Outdoor photography particularly benefits from Nature-related flow triggers.
What is the Flow State?
An optimal state of consciousness where you feel your best and perform your best. It’s those moments of undivided attention and total absorption, where your mind, body, and spirit are focused on the present. Action and awareness merge and you develop a calm awareness of your surroundings.
Flow is meditation in action
Photographic Flow is here to help you develop a flow-prone environment where you access this flow state on demand, improving your photography, and boosting your creativity and life satisfaction.
