‘LEICA’ by CODY_J
PRIMARY - 06 APR 2017
"I had quite a few ideas about the shoot and what I was going to do. I took off all of my clothes, propped up a mirror on the bed and went for it. I took a couple in my boyfriend's bedroom and then moved out into the backyard and used up the whole space. I put the mirror in a tree, I sat in the old, rotting red car seats, and found a plastic red rose to put in my hair. I sat in a bath which was in the backyard too. I felt so free walking around naked, inspecting the space, thinking of all the ways to use it. It was so much fun. Initially I felt a bit awkward and silly, but as time went by it felt more and more natural. Looking back at the photos made me so happy. I could see for myself how beautiful I am, because I felt beautiful, and I think the camera and the mirror brought that out of me."
