‘SATIN_DAWN’ by MONIKA_T
PRIMARY - 23 SEP 2024
"I spent a few days thinking about all the small details of my shoot. I wanted to show my morning routine. The viewer should wake up in bed with me and see what surrounds me. I carefully avoided posing and empowered myself not to delete photos where I don't like myself. I wanted to make the project as honest as possible and show even my ugly angles, which I had never done before. Usually I know my winning sides and pose only with my working side. I think I didn't even sleep for a few days and replayed the shoot in my head and how it was going to be. The day before the shoot I cleaned up my apartment. I put all the things in their places, watered the orchid. To be honest, the shoot was not easy because I don't have a long arm to fully display my body, my phone kept falling down, sometimes I even got angry that the photos turned out awkward because it's hard to fully use the phone. After revisiting the photos I got, I discovered new angles and tried to like myself from less favorable sides, to accept my other non-working side."
