My Ethos

Empowerment comes from loving & celebrating who you are and how you are

I want to help you love your body exactly as it is

I want to caputure your essence and not just your form

I encourage deep connection to self and to allow free flowing expression to come out

That is what I capture!

No Airbrushing or Cliche posing

I don't airbrush

I don't pose in the usual generic ways

I believe in celebrating the real you and allowing expression to flow

I can guide you in ways to help you find your authentic self

Why I work like this

We are constantly told, directly or indirectly how we should act, look, speak, express (or even suppress) ourselves in all areas of life, especially around emotions as well as sex & beauty

Many photoshoots conform to these standards, from the way they pose you to the airbrushing to create an unnatural, 'porcelain' finish that is deemed to be desireable

The selling point of this is "We will make you look beautiful!" Whilst I do sometimes make some adjustments/enhancements to the overall image, I do not change you or the essence of the image

As you compare yourself to the airbushed images, there may be moments when you realise that is not actually how you look on a daily basis and thus fuel the perpetual narrative that if you don't look like that, you need to change, are undesirable, unworthy etc or just wrong

Whilst I'm not totally against this kind of photography I feel that it's more about creating a 'what could be' piece of art

Rather than MAKING you look beautiful, I want us to celebrate that you ARE beautiful, worthy and seen exactly as you are! Including whatever 'flaws' you may feel you have, however you maybe feeling or whatever challenges you are facing
