I am glad to announce that my photography class at Jockey Club Artspiration Academy, St. James Settlement is currently having its first exhibtion. With the approach of contemplative photography, they are able to explore their own photography style through sensation and observation. Evaluating my prior 6 years experience on teaching photography for SEN individuals, whilst they can develop the ability to control the camera and set up lighting equipment by louds of rehearsal, it didn't assist to develop their own creative thoughts. As such, the attempt of the current approach considered as my new teaching method, which seems go far beyond my expectations! It's a great honour to see their mature art works with only few months of training.

With the inspiration of an article by Kim Sargent-Wishart (2021), which is about contemplative photography with body-mind centering, it emphasizes exploring body movement through multisensory experiences. This approach encourages people to perceive objects based on their color, patterns, shadow, and texture, rather than solely relying on preconceived expectations based on their names. The article suggests that contemplative photography arouses sensations, which can repattern and synchronize the body and mind. Consequently, individuals can express themselves from the body to the soma through the process of discovery. This portfolio adhered to the article in which I attempted to use multisensory techniques to explore the textures of oil paint and acrylic paint, and recreate those textures using body wax, body paint, and flowers on a model's face and body. The purpose was to establish a new perception of an existing concept. The addition of flowers represents my interpretation of this new discovery, as I found that the texture resembled soil and stone in my revised perception. By asking the model to move spontaneously, I was able to observe subtle changes in the texture, which provided another novel insight into the materials I worked with. I thoroughly enjoyed the process of continually experiencing fresh perceptions. In Frame /Jelly Headpiece /Mi Photographer/ mua/ body paint / Daphanie
