A Real Shoot Again

I did a photoshoot today. A proper one, for hosiery. Someone styling me, lights set up, the whole thing. I forgot how good it feels to be on the other side of a real camera.

It has been almost a year since I did anything like this. A lot has changed in that year. The way I see myself, the way I move, the way I stop apologizing for taking up space. Today I felt all of that show up at once.

The photos are simple. Just two. But they are mine in a way the early ones never were. I think the difference is that I am not performing for the camera anymore. I am letting it find me.

This was so much fun. I want to do it again soon. I think I am ready for that part of myself to come back out for good.
