Abbas: Photography as Meditation & Inner Balance 😍

1. You cannot truly photograph, Abbas believes, without first mastering the balance within. To him, the art is far more than hitting a shutter to seize still images. It is an act of departure: leaving behind the city’s hum to step into nature, where you must meet its extremes bravely—cold winds that cut through layers, sunlight so fierce it burns, snow so bright it makes your eyes water—without turning away. It is about leaning into discomfort until it feels like part of the journey. 🌪️🌞❄️ 2. He talks of standing silent in darkness, letting your senses stretch until you “hear” the dark itself; of watching moonlight slide over landscapes like liquid, of letting stars pin you in their gaze, small and awe-struck. It means wandering freely, no destination in mind, until you’re fully submerged in the world around you—no thoughts of frames or angles, just being. These are not distractions from photography, he says—they are its core. 🌌👣🗣️ 3. And then there is the waiting: slow, steady, almost sacred. It is the heart of it all. Like a fisherman who sits by the water not for the catch, but for the rhythm of the waves, the way light shifts on the surface, the quiet hope that hums in his bones. The number of fish matters less than the act of waiting. For Abbas, every moment spent enduring wind, soaking in starlight, or listening to darkness is this—meditation. The photo, when it comes, is just a byproduct. The real work is the balance: calm, present, alive to it all. 🧘♂️🎣🌟 #PhotographyAsMeditation #AbbasOnInnerCalm #NatureAndArtBlend #TheArtOfWaitingDeep #BalanceInCreationTales
