The art of capturing vulnerability in portraits
Having taken a picture of yourself has always been an odd moment. But nowadays these images have become very consumable objects. We strive to be perceived as authentic. Yet we are afraid of showing up as our true self and exposing our vulnerability.
We feel awkward in front of the camera, worried about how we are perceived. As we don’t have any control over the image we project, our primal instincts of fight, flight or freeze kick in. Taking a moment to reflect and embark on a journey of self-discovery has become an incommodity. We buried what is alive in us under deep layers of our public personas.
The photo interview helps us to discover our true self again and establish a deeper sense of self. During the shooting we engage in a conversation about the experiences that shaped how we see ourselves.
Meaningful portrait sessions for self-discovery
The photographer’s job is to establish a relationship of trust and create a space that allows the sitter to tap into their deepest emotions and darkest moments, so that the images can be a serene and sincere representation of oneself and hold the potential for self-discovery.
The photo interview is a true opportunity to reconnect with your inner self.
- Rediscover your authentic self by exploring your story in a safe and creative space.
- Build confidence in how you see yourself and how others see you.
- Create meaningful portraits that reflect your true essence.
