In my job, as Brighton based professional portrait photographer, I’m empowering others to be more visible, but if I’m honest, there are times when I’m reluctant to face the camera myself…
So take it from me, a Sussex professional female brand portrait photographer & videographer. . .
It’s OK to feel awkward in front of the camera
It OK to experience a range of emotions during the photos session: resistance, joy, awkwardness, silliness, playfulness, embarrassment, etc.
It’s OK to worry about the visibility process: “do I look ok?”; “my hair looks good”?
It’s OK to not like what you see at first
All above and more it’s part of the visibility process.
Yet, as I go deeper to understand the visibility blockages withn myself and others, I ask this question: why do we see beauty in others but not in ourselves?
I struggled to see beauty in myself until…
I started using portrait photography to heal this part of myself. And now I help my clients do the same thing.
Through portrait photos & headshots I hold up a mirror to reflect back the hidden beauty they normally miss.
I’m not just taking pictures of their hair, skin and eyes . . .
I’m capturing their strength, vulnerability, resilience, courage, and other hidden attributes.
This is my gentle way of revealing new insights to them.
How professional portrait photoshoot helps to remove inner blockages?
In my personal brand portrait shoots we gently peel away layers of conditioning and remove inner blockages so you can finally let go and be yourself in the moment.
As a female photographer, I love seeing the transformation during the brand photo session that a woman go through with me!
I love seeing the magic happening on the other side of the camera, thought my lens and eventually to capture something extraordinary: natural and authentic looking portrait & headshot of you.
From being a little bit camera shy, sometimes vulnerable, perhaps lacking confidence or insecure….
…to opening up, expressing themselves, feeling free and beautiful, and having fun!
It’s much more than just pressing the button!
It’s so much more than just a traditional headshot photoshoot in the studio.
It’s all about creating safe space for my clients to fully express themselves.
