Finding Light Journal
Discover Brad Carr’s Acclaimed Creative Essays at the Intersection of Purpose, Identity, Belonging & Healing
Brad Carr
Brad Carr writes at the intersection of photography and personal transformation through creativity and Nature. His acclaimed creative essays invite readers to slow down, observe more, and find the light that exists within their own hearts.
Through thought-provoking, introspective musings that emerge from years of wandering amongst ancient Welsh oak and silver birch trees in silence and meditation, writing in his journal, and mentoring fellow photographers, he explores the inner landscape and events that shape our vision.
These powerful, sometimes visceral, reflections offer sanctuary for those seeking to deepen their artistic practice, unearth their authentic voice, or discover how mindful observation and stillness become pathways to deep healing and creative power.
If you don’t know where to start, Brad recommends The Spirit of Place, Photographing Feelings, or Learning to See Again, all of which offer an insight into the depth of the artist’s mind and creative philosophies.
