Photography is an antidepressant

19 36



This is the first video in a new series I’m making called “Photography Is…”
I want to explore what photography means to people and what it’s benefits are, as well as it’s drawbacks. And it won’t all have such as a serious tone as this one 🙂

This episode I discuss my take on the mental health benefits of photography and how it can help fight depression.

    Yes Craig.. please watch my TEDX on this exact subject. There is a program out of Stanford University – in Palo Altos – of Combat Vets having their photography help them cope with PTSD!

    I've had all too much trouble with depression in this life. But…, it is very true that photography is an AD. Except when you're struggling to make a living at it. The craft is bliss. The business is hell.
