In the last weeks I had a few really cool portrait photoshoots. Totally different women with totally different reasons for a photoshoot, but there’s something in common: they all needed a new perspective on themselves.
Life happens
There are so many reasons why someone would need a new photo. And often it’s caused by a major shift in life and you lost somehow the connection to yourself. Empty nest syndrome, change in partnership, illness, job – you name it.
Photography can help you
By stepping in front of a camera you start to discover yourself again. You literally see yourself from the outside and this will give you the possibility to explore, to reflect and to embrace yourself and your body. Photography can help you reconnect to your body and soul.
Safe space
This may not be easy for everyone. In my experience there are more people who struggle with being photographed than those who enjoy it. And I totally get it. You suddenly get 100% attention, as everyone is looking at you in that moment, like you are on a stage.
This makes it all the more important to find a safe space, where you feel comfortable and you get the chance to relax and maybe even forget about the camera. It is the reason, why I always ask my clients, what location is best for them. I can adapt, no problem.
