Visual Therapy™ Method

It is a method that I developed through the years…

The camera is not just a tool for creating images but a key to an inner journey.

The Visual Therapy method is based on the combination of photography, observation, and personal exploration, offering a new way to meet ourselves. Through the camera, we learn to see the world, our inner story, and the reflection of hidden emotions within us.

The method invites us to slow down, observe deeply, and create a space for healing and self-discovery. It is suited for anyone seeking to connect creativity, emotional exploration, and personal growth, allowing each person to express their authentic story.

Seeing and Being Seen

The encounter with ourselves and the world through the lens allows us to see what is usually hidden. The camera becomes a tool for personal exploration, offering a fresh perspective on ourselves and the ability to be seen exactly as we are.

The Kind Gaze

Cultivating a gentle, compassionate, and non-judgmental gaze. Seeing beauty even in the cracks and imperfections. Allowing ourselves to meet both ourselves and others from a place of respect, presence, and acceptance.

Personal Exploration Through the Camera

Photography becomes a means to deepen personal exploration. By observing details, light, shadows, and what reveals itself through the lens, we retell our inner story, uncover emotions, and expose hidden meanings.

The Power of the Image

Visual imagery bypasses logical thought and speaks directly to the emotions and subconscious. Images serve as a gateway to self-discovery, healing, and a deeper connection to our essence.

Visual and Symbolic DNA

Each person has their own unique visual language \u2013 their creative DNA. The symbols, colors, shapes, and images we are drawn to reveal deeper layers of who we are. Working with visual symbols allows us to decode our personal story and give it full, meaningful expression.

The Power of Creation and Observation

Photography, working with existing images, or creating new moments through the camera \u2013 all of these allow us to see ourselves from new angles, express ourselves, and create renewed meaning.

Full Presence in the Moment

The encounter with the camera and the image invites us to pause, breathe, and be fully present in the moment. Deep observation of reality as it is creates new insights and a space for inner calm.

My method offers a space for healing, exploration, and self-discovery through the camera and photography. It is a visual and emotional journey where images become a mirror and a new language that allows us to tell, release, and reconnect the fragments of our inner story.
