About the Book
Discover the Beauty of Imperfection- Through Your Lens and Your Life.
Imperfection is no longer something to hide, but something to celebrate.
In The Quiet Lens, fine art photographer Joshua Gensetsu Smith, PhD, invites you to explore wabi-sabi photography, a Japanese aesthetic that finds beauty in imperfection, impermanence, and simplicity. This mindful photography guide helps you see the world differently- through the cracks in the pavement, the peeling paint on an abandoned wall, and the fleeting light that transforms an ordinary moment into something extraordinary.
