ARTISTS STATEMENT
Before doing this I had struggled with appreciating my body and as I continued to shoot myself I became graciously comfortable with myself. Having done life drawing during high school I always had an appreciation for the female body and its beauty of all varieties, doing this shoot brought me closer to loving this beauty due to being able to contribute myself into a worthy project. I very much enjoyed doing this shoot because I got my take the photos exactly how I liked whilst also pushing my own boundaries. I did not feel nervous before doing this project by my anxiety was relieved after I did this shoot which has been a wonderful experience for me and my happiness.
