The Role of Touch in Photography

[@tomforbes3284]

Hi from Canada. You are so much of an inspiration. I love your videos.

[@hansandersson2863]

Kim i just love the inspiration you give me , to stop and se the world and detalj . Big huggs from me

[@alexgimagery]

You touching the stones and all the barnacles really opened up my eyes. I will definitely be getting more connected with my subjects too. I often touch the grasses and sand I am photographing, but all too often I find myself rushing by a scene after taking a photo. Thanks for the video!

[@kimgrantphotography]

This is wonderful to hear, Alex! May you enjoy the experience next time you are out 😊✨️

[@cesarm8811]

Excellent video Kim. Thanks for sharing!!!!

[@kimgrantphotography]

You're welcome! Thank you ☺️🙏

[@nightwolf1592]

Great advice Kim. It’s so important to connect completely with the surrounding. I find it’s as important as the photographic images themselves. Rod

[@kimgrantphotography]

Great perspective, Rod, and so very true. Thank you ☺️🙏

[@Opinions-from-YUL]

This is a very interesting perspective. It is an approach that is worth exploring.

[@kimgrantphotography]

Thank you! Enjoy your exploration ☺️🙏

Guera, you are the most beautiful person I have ever seen in years.

Good morning Kim. That was amazing and my week is complete now lol. We all need to slow down and learn from nature. Love this quote.....To touch is to experience , but to feel is to live. Hope you have a wonderful day today.

[@kimgrantphotography]

Beautiful quote! Thank you for sharing, Joe. 😊

Hi Kim, What an amazing video! Your approach to photography and life are unique and fascinating. I also want to say thank you for the meditation you've created. I find it incredible. It transcends the realm of photography, extending into wellness, spirituality, and mental health in a gentle and natural way, which I find very attractive. I'm not a photographer and use your meditation to ground and center myself. It also helps me fall asleep. Your voice has a healing and nurturing tone that takes me into such deep relaxation that I inevitably drift off. I believe it's your voice and its amazing properties that make this meditation so unique, potent, and healing for me. I hope to see more of your meditations and similar materials with your magical voice. Maybe even something that would help people struggling with anxiety and insomnia? Thank you!

[@kimgrantphotography]

Thank you for your kind words and for downloading the meditation. It's so lovely to hear that you enjoyed the meditation and find great benefits in using it. Great suggestions, too. Thank you! ☺️🙏

Good Morning Kim, great video,, nature is amazing, all we need is to stop and see it, or feel it. So much of life is put on everything but experiencing LIFE. There is a process called the Butterfly Effect, as the butterfly moves the air by it's winds, the air moves on and on, when something or someone, does something, that affects others, or something, I thought about that watching your videos, you talk and share information, to others, then they act or share with others, and it goes on and on. Thank you for posting this video. Have a blessed upcoming week.

[@kimgrantphotography]

Thank you for reminding me of the butterfly effect and for kindly connecting the term with my videos. It's lovely to hear you feel this way and see this in what I create 😊🙏✨️

[@mawavoy]

Very much enjoying this new series of videos. Your approach to photography has inspired an overall theme for my personal work. Thanks for sharing.

[@kimgrantphotography]

This is wonderful to hear! You're welcome, and thank you for the kind words 😊 🙏

[@RoyJenkinsPacker]

A beautiful different approach. Such a simple idea, wonderfully told.

[@kimgrantphotography]

Thank you, Roy. Great, you enjoyed it, and thanks for downloading the audio file. Much appreciated ☺️🙏

[@joncothranphotography9375]

Simply wonderful! I find myself wondering barefoot while enjoying a bit of photography more than not. I'll have to try the touch method as well when I go out for some macrophotography. Thanks Kim! I'm glad to see that you are doing well!

[@kimgrantphotography]

Great Jon. May you enjoy the process. And thank you 😊 🙏

Hi Kim. This afternoon, I was looking at a grassed area that can be viewed from my kitchen widow. This area has been left uncut by the local council. In the wind, the seed heads looked like wheat sheaves as they danced to and fro. I took the opportunity to capture a sense of the movement . The clover made an ideal out of focus backdrop. The strange thing is, I found I had to touch the grass to feel the movement. some hrs. Later, I sat down to watch your video on touching your subject. Coincidence or what! Big fan. love your work❤

[@kimgrantphotography]

This is so beautiful to hear, Andrew! What a lovely moment to witness and great that you touched the grass to feel the movement. Such a serendipitous moment ☺️✨️

[@andrewkay4360]

Thank you, Kim, for such a nice reply. I look forward to your next video. Regards Andrew ❤

[@David-Neilson]

Hi Kim yet another out standing video I will definitely be giving this a go next time am out with my camera ❤❤❤

[@kimgrantphotography]

Great, David! Enjoy ☺️

[@denisesavage2382]

Wow - the images as we went further into the video just came alive to a whole new little world that we could easily gloss over. I often myself touching different parts of the bush as I wander along a path. Paying attention to the whole as I go. If it's raining I'll often walk without anything on my head, because a hat or hood, just seems to limit how I sense the world around me as I go. I miss hearing, feeling it as energy fully about me. There's something about how it speaks and reaches me when I'm attentive to it. Thanks for sharing and the encouragement to reach out and touch, notice and connect in an embodying way.

[@kimgrantphotography]

This is so beautiful to hear, Denise. I love hearing your thoughts and experiences about your outings in nature. Thank you for sharing ☺️🙏

[@shawndonnelly5317]

[@MarkRakenzes]

I always learn something from your videos... I enjoy your pictures and your feelings about life and the connection that photography can have about the world around us. Looking through the lens of my camera I see the world so differently... It's truly amazing. Thank you for another wonderful journey. Hello to all from San Diego, CA. Mark R

Thank you!

Nice video 👍

[@kimgrantphotography]

Thanks ☺️ 🙏

[@aussirose]

I am enjoying your videos Kim. I think you would embrace Lensbaby lenses. They are fine art lenses that embrace artistic photography. I am not by any means a lensbaby ambassader. bit I feel that Lensbaby Lenses are a good fit for what you like to do. Cheers, Ann.

[@kimgrantphotography]

Thank you, Ann! I do have one but have not used it yet. Hope to soon. They look amazing 😊🙏
