Honesty & authenticity is one of the bravest and daring things. It is vulnerable because society tell us who to be, what to think, how to act from the moment we are born, implicitly or explicitly. Sometimes, the message is “hide your true self behind what’s expected” and do what you’re told.  Doing what’s expected is often the forced smile and posey photos that everyone expects, but isn’t a reflection of who you really are. It’s a fake smile, a hollow laugh.

“But I’m not photogenic!” I hear you, I understand. Authenticity isn’t about stiff poses, it’s about connection to each other, and yourself. It’s about having the bravery to be your genuine self without fear of how you’ll look. Because I promise you, when you are authentically yourself, you’ve never looked so good. And best of all, it makes being photographed FUN. Yes, I said the f-word. If you’re ready to be vulnerable, real, honest & brave, scroll through my work and see if it speaks to you.
