ABOUT ME
Workshop Facilitator: 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 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, 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 also served three years as 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 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 and photo-art with Photoshop at My Photo Artistic Life with Sebastian Michaels.
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 forever guide me. ​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.
