Photography as Prayer

Use your phone’s camera in free guided photography practices and bring calm and creativity to your life

Photography as Prayer is a meditative app that will quickly give you a new and exciting way to become focused and calm as you use your phone’s camera in guided, simple-to-follow ten-minute photo-meditations. Each practice is designed to help you develop an easily accessible way to shut off the noise and tensions in your life any time day or night. As you do the photo practices, you will find yourself not only making beautiful pictures, but increasingly centered and ultimately more deeply connected with yourself.

The practices are short. They are not done sitting quietly in a darkened room. You will make photographs in a focused way that will leave you feeling refreshed and positive. The app includes easy to follow photo-meditative practices, a step-by-step field guide, a contributors gallery, its own camera with a personal file to keep and share your photographs. Best of all is the Prayer Book. Use it to create your own personal prayers and messages using your favorite photographs. Your photographs and prayer book entries can be shared on social media, texted, emailed, or printed. For some users, Photography as Prayer is a private personal practice used only for centering calm, creative and spiritual expression. Others share their practice with their faith-based communities and friends. The choice is yours and yours alone.
