Each identity portrait brings a new challenge which is what I love so much about the process. For Raven, the identity portrait process was one of deep self-exploration. Reflecting on her background in acting, performing beauty at the direction of others, her own relationship to play and being seen just as she is. Together we explored how her own reflection served as both a reminder to embrace herself as she is while also providing a reminder to love herself without any need for the physical. She is magnificent without external validation.
On this day we moved, played, experimented, and let ourselves be free - both as a vulnerable subject and as a photographer. The resulting images are stunning.
We all have something to say and an inner world to express. Take the time to honor yourself as the main character in your own life story. To center yourself isn’t selfish, it’s brave and healing. There is so much more to say and to experience. You’ll never regret making it tangible. Let’s work together.
