Blue Space Art Photography | Art in Nature Mindful Photography Workshops
ABOUT ME

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.
I'm 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 where I facilitate classes on photographic techniques, composition, post-production, etc. The classes are also designed to teach people how to transcend the stressors of everyday life by connecting with the beauty of the natural world through mindful photography.
My personal journey has been one of healing, as I have found immense comfort and clarity in photography while navigating my own life challenges.
I’ve always been a creative, am a mother to four wonderful children, and a grandmother to seven beautiful grandchildren. Throughout my life, I’ve worn many hats—raising my family as a single mother, publishing a book, and working in diverse places such as Parliament House in Hansard Reporting, the Australian Academy of Science, a Barristers Clerk, a small business owner. I've built websites and designed logos and posters as a graphic artist. I've served 3 yrs as President of the Millmerran Historical Society, where I voluntarily work to preserve and share the rich history of my community.
My photography career spans over a decade, during which I’ve worked as a professional photographer in various fields, including family portraits, school formals, animal photography, weddings, product photography, and real estate. I’ve studied photography with the Australian Photography Institute.
I am now shifting my focus to a new mission: to promote mindfulness and 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 guide me in my mission to teach others how to use photography as a mindfulness tool. I live in Millmerran, SE Queensland, but my heart also belongs to my second home in Bangalow, 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.
