ABOUT ME
Workshop Facilitator: Me, Christine Turner a passionate photographer with a deep love for nature and the practice of mindfulness. Last year, I launched the Art in Nature Mindful Photography workshops. Here you can learn the basics of different photographic techniques, composition, and post-production. The workshop is also designed to teach people how to transcend the stressors of everyday life and enter stillness by connecting with the beauty of the natural world through mindful photography.
​
In my personal journey I have found immense comfort and clarity in photography while navigating my own life challenges.
​
I’ve always been a creative. "Life is Art" is my motto, and how we live it is a creative act. I’ve raised my family as a single mother, published a book, and worked in diverse places such as Parliament House in Hansard Reporting, the Australian Academy of Science, as a Barristers Clerk, and small business owner. I was President of the Millmerran Historical Society, where I voluntarily worked to preserve and share the rich history of my community.
​​
My camera serves as a lifeline, my flotation device in a sea of uncertainty, helping me find peace and purpose even in the most turbulent times.
My photography career spans over a decade, during which I’ve worked as a semi-professional photographer. I’ve studied photography with the Australian Photography Institute and photo-art with Sebastian Michaels at My Photo Artistic Life.
I am now shifting my focus to a new mission: to promote mindfulness in photography, raise environmental consciousness and appreciation by capturing and sharing the stunning beauty of the natural world.
Alongside my photography, I have studied Eastern philosophies, yoga, meditation, and non-dualism with an Indian Guru, and I am a student of A Course in Miracles. These teachings inspire my work and forever guide me. ​I live in Millmerran, SE Queensland, but my heart also belongs to my second home in the Northern Rivers district of Northern New South Wales.
Through my workshops and photography, I hope to inspire others to find balance, peace, and connection in nature, while fostering a deeper awareness of the world around us.
