‘LAVENDERLAYER’ by

PRIMARY - 25 OCT 2023
"This was a really interesting project! It was a bit challenging at first having to shoot in bright light and being limited by holding the camera myself. It felt difficult to capture the more traditionally or socially acceptable versions of what might be flattering. I found however as I got further into the shoot I became more accepting of my "flaws", wrinkles, dimples, stretchmarks, squishy bits. And even felt drawn to try and get more of that in there! The other thing that was interesting was not leaning into my usual props of heavy makeup, lingerie, costume, filters... I really did feel naked. Again, this was hard at first but became easier and a feeling of self love and liberation came over as I embraced it: This is me! This is who I am! I don't need anyone else to love it, just me."
