About Anna Wilson
I’m Anna Wilson – photographer, educator, and founder of Mindful Eye Photography. Photography has always been my way of exploring the world and noticing its subtle beauty, but over the years, I’ve discovered it’s much more than making images – it’s a practice of presence, reflection, and creative rest.
Like many of the women I work with, I lead a very full, busy life – one I’m deeply grateful for – yet it can feel overwhelming and scattered at times. Mindful photography gives me a way to pause and reconnect, quiet my busy mind, and enter the present moment. It’s a form of art therapy and gratitude practice, a tool for finding joy, rekindling wonder, and entering creative flow. Through this approach, I create work that is not just visually beautiful, but meaningful – work that inspires others to explore this mindful, present-focused practice for themselves.
I created Mindful Eye not only to guide photography practice but also to build the creative community I needed – a place where creative women photographers can learn, share, and grow together. When I teach or mentor, I won’t focus on technical settings or gear, but instead help you reconnect with your love for photography, express your unique voice, and feel supported by a community of creative women.
Over the past 25 years, I’ve blended this personal practice with professional work – teaching photography, leading retreats, creating fine art, and capturing travel and brand storytelling. I love guiding women photographers around the world to reclaim creative space, see with fresh eyes, and create work that reflects their vision, soul, and sense of belonging.
