The chosen images act as a mirror, reflecting our innermost thoughts, desires, fears, and aspirations. They enable us to dive deep into our subconscious and bring to light emotions and memories that may have been buried or overlooked.

Discovering Motivation

One of the key benefits of Photo Therapy is its ability to ignite motivation within us. Often, we find ourselves feeling stuck or lacking the drive to pursue our goals and dreams. By examining carefully selected images that resonate with our desires and aspirations, we can start to reconnect with our innate motivations.

Through Photo Therapy, we develop a clearer sense of what truly inspires us. It allows us to define our passions with greater clarity, giving us the push we need to take action and move towards personal and professional fulfillment.

Unearthing Hidden Wisdom

Images have a remarkable way of accessing our subconscious minds and revealing profound wisdom that might otherwise go unnoticed. When we engage in Photo Therapy, we are encouraged to explore the layers of meaning hidden within each image. The symbolism, colors, and composition of the photos often speak directly to our inner selves, guiding us towards deeper insights and understanding.

Through this process, we gain valuable wisdom that can assist us in making important life decisions, resolving inner conflicts, and finding solutions to personal challenges.

Empowerment through Self-Expression

Photo Therapy provides a unique platform for self-expression. Often, we struggle to put our thoughts and emotions into words. However, images have a universal language that transcends verbal limitations. Therefore, by selecting images that resonate with us, we can express our innermost thoughts, feelings, and experiences.

This form of nonverbal communication enables us to share and understand our stories in a profound and instinctive way. It strengthens our connection with ourselves and fosters empathy and understanding in our relationships with others.

Applying Photo Therapy in Everyday Life

Photo Therapy can extend beyond traditional therapy sessions. It can be incorporated into our daily lives as a tool for self-reflection and personal growth.

One simple way to engage in Photo Therapy is to create a personal photo journal. Select images that you resonate with or find uplifting. Photograph moments and scenes that capture your attention and evoke emotions.

Regularly revisiting this collection allows you to reflect on your experiences, track personal growth, and gain insights into what motivates you and brings you joy.

The Journey Towards Self-Discovery

Embarking on a journey of self-discovery and personal growth is an ongoing process. Photo Therapy offers a powerful and engaging way to delve deep into your emotions, motivations, and wisdom.

Through carefully selected images, this unique therapeutic approach enables individuals to connect with their inner selves, find motivation, and uncover hidden wisdom that can transform their lives.

So why not grab your camera or browse through your old photos today and embark on a Photo Therapy adventure that could bring about the motivation and wisdom you've been searching for?

Unlike Rick Sammon's 39 other best-selling and photo-rich books, Photo Therapy Motivation and Wisdom – Discovering the Power of Pictures, has no photographs between the covers. Yet, Rick feels as though it is his most important work. He trusts this book will make you think – hard – about your photography, and about how using your brain, the best photo “accessory,” will help you become a better photographer. Or as stated by famed black-and-white landscape photographer Ansel Adams, “The single most important component of a camera is the twelve inches behind it.”

It’s not that Rick is tired of having to "lug around a camera," as Lewis Hine said, it’s just that he thinks the motivational and inspirational message of this book is better expressed without showing his own pictures. Rather, in reading the 35,000-word text, he’d like you to imagine your own pictures – and potential pictures – while he is describing a situation, process, technique, feeling or emotion.

Chapters include: Emotional Intelligence for Photographers, Seeing vs. Looking, Creating Your Own Reality, It’s Never Too Late to Be What You Might Have Been, Light and Color Therapy, Learning is Health, and What Does Your Photography Mean to You?

The book also includes more than 20 “missions” that you can accept in your quest to expand your photographic horizons.

This very personal book is filled with Rick’s photo and life wisdom – wisdom he has gained by spending almost an entire lifetime – starting in the late 1950’s with developing pictures in his parents’ basement – involved in photography in many forms and fashions.

You will find many inspirational quotes in this book. One of Rick’s favorites: “When you are through changing, you are through.” – Bruce Barton
