Award-winning fine art photographer and longtime TM Teacher Marty Hulsebos talks about creativity, consciousness, and the art of truly seeing. He describes how the TM technique has influenced both his life and his photography and how inner silence can deepen our perception of light, beauty, and the natural world. Through stories from nearly four decades behind the camera, he explores what he calls “Being and Seeing”—the connection between inner awareness and artistic expression.

His beautiful and refined design work is appreciated throughout the global TM community, and his fine art photography enjoys an equally wide audience. A practitioner of the Transcendental Meditation technique from the age of 17, he is also a practitioner of the TM-Sidhi® program.
