A photography practice built around attention and a daily visual record

David Ulrich frames photography as an ongoing practice of observation, using Zen principles alongside lessons drawn from his teaching experience. The book is organized around six lessons in self-expression and invites photographers to keep a “Daily Record,” a visual-journaling habit made with any camera, including a phone. Its 83 photographs accompany discussions of seeing, technology, mindfulness, and personal growth. The emphasis is not on acquiring specialized equipment, but on using regular image-making to examine what catches one’s attention and to develop a more personal relationship with photographs.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Photographers seeking a reflective daily practice
  • Phone-camera users interested in visual journaling
  • Readers interested in the connection between Zen ideas, attention, and creativity

Book overview

Zen Camera is an unprecedented photography practice that guides you to the creativity at your fingertips, calling for nothing more than your vision and any camera, even the one embedded in your phone.

David Ulrich draws on the principles of Zen practice as well as forty years of teaching photography to offer six profound lessons for developing your self-expression. Doing for photography what The Artist's Way and Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain did for their respective crafts, Zen Camera encourages you to build a visual journaling practice called your Daily Record in which photography can become a path of self-discovery. Beautifully illustrated with 83 photographs, its insights into the nature of seeing, art, and personal growth allow you to create photographs that are beautiful, meaningful, and uniquely your own.

You'll ultimately learn to change the way you interact with technology--transforming it into a way to uncover your innate power of attention and mindfulness, to see creatively, and to live authentically.
