Womanhood

Womanhood…

Have you ever had photos of only you? Why women tend to go on the back burner and avoid this? Why trying to be “invisible”?

I heard all the excuses; “ I’m fat, let me loose some weight”, “ my gray hair, I need to color it” , I am not photogenic”, I can be weird in front of the camera”, “can you do photoshop”?

I’ll tell you my experience, yes, I used those excuses too but…One day I decided on self portraits.

First it was kind of scary, I felt so self conscious. As time passed I was more relaxed and loved the outcome. While editing those self portraits things got into perspective. Now I am planing a self portrait project!

Ive always seen the beauty in other women, but the tendency was to be super self aware was taking over .

Now I can tell you this;

Embrace every scar, pound, wrinkle, as crazy as it sounds, finding the beauty within all that will make wonders on your self esteem. I believe we can take care of ourselves to feel in touch with our better version. Yes, if you want to have surgery, if you are following a diet and enjoy excercising. Yes to not coloring your hair, be a hardcore foodie and only meditate.

Whoever you decide is your better “you”, just be. Change the way you talk about yourself, use positive wording, look at those wrinkles closely, the screech marks, and find the good on those too. For all those beautiful ladies that have been in front of my camera, thank you. You make me realized so many things, you all have a beauty that have no “one size fit all” description. Thank you all!!!!
