Workshop – May 7, 2025 – Mindful Flower Photography

Recording now available for members.

Just in time for late spring, Delta Photo Club continued its series of workshops with Mindful Approach to Flower Photography with Jana Zachariou on May 7, 2025.

Jana Zachariou is a Czech-born photographer living in southern British Columbia. After having lived in various locations around the world, she chose to call Canada her home. Eventually settling on the West Coast was the true beginning of Jana’s endless love affair with a camera.

Her knowledge of photography is entirely self-taught. This informal training enabled her to develop a unique style that makes her images very recognizable. Photography opened a door to an aberrant way of seeing and appreciating the world around her. Jana’s ability to capture inspiring imagery came about, in part, because of the abundance of natural scenery that surrounds her on the West Coast. The visual drama and artistry of her photographs are born from a keen eye for the many moods of the natural world.

Initially, her photography was focused on landscapes. In the past couple of years, Jana has shifted her focus and has successfully created a niche for herself in the photographic world of florals. Rather than focusing on the technicalities involved in taking a photo, she explores photography with a mindfulness approach. She loves creating and experimenting with textures in post-processing to make them come alive with an added layer of depth. Jana’s hope is that when viewed, her dreamy floral images evoke a sense of emotion.

This event is relevant to photographers of all levels, specifically anyone interested in exploring new techniques and expanding their photographic appreciation.
