In spirited collaboration with the Baltimore chapter of the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI), and Wide Angle Youth Media, Two-Way Mirror is a guided workshop series exploring the intersection of lens-based creative expression and mental well-being. Through a structured photo walk and a facilitated group dialogue, I guide participants through an understanding of landscape photography as a contemplative practice of mindfulness.

These workshops are geared towards beginner photographers; attendees are introduced to fundamental imaging concepts including exposure, color, and composition. These tools are framed not only as technical controls, but as creative elements that translate perception and feeling into visual form.

Through the analogy of a two-way mirror, these workshops approach photography as a medium for both external observation and quiet introspection. Each workshop culminates in a group conversation where participants share observations from the walk, discuss their images, and explore how attention, perception, and emotion shape deeper narratives within their images.
