"This photoshoot was completely different to what I expected it to be. I thought I was going to have some strong message/theme, but once the mirrors came out it took on a life of it's own. The mirrors themselves became my focus and what they reflected. I liked they were old, scratched, imperfect; it gave them that much more character and it reflected (pardon the pun) on what I felt about myself. I loved the 3-part mirror the best. Sometimes I'd start to take a photo and realize I'd captured more than I intended. I felt a bit hesitant photographing my bottom half but it's about embracing yourself, right? So taking photos of those parts of my body I'm most self-conscious, just acknowledging them as part of myself was empowering. Seeing yourself reflected and loving what you see because it's yours...That's what this shoot became for me"
