PHOTOGRAPHY AND WELLBEING
My passion for photography has been there ever since I was a child. It was my favourite thing to do, getting in my grandmother’s box old photos when visiting her or staying during the summer holidays. My grandmother was a great storyteller and it went hand in hand when she would show me all her pictures that brought fond memories.
Given a camera for a Christmas present, it became my best friend, and together we explored, travelled the world through very different eyes over many years, as a hobby interest and later in life became part of my current business. Define and Shine Claudine Burgess Photography, “Creative Commercial Photography.” I never thought that Photography would create a new business until being on a path of reinventing myself after time with Breast cancer and treatment in 2011.Only recently, as part of my research, creating a Mindful photography book. I stumbled on a case study done in America by Dr. Andrew Cox of the University of Sheffield, and study co-authored by Dr. Liz Brewster of Lancaster University in 2018.
