Hey you!
I hope you're doing well!
This morning I still didn't have anything for this week's shoot of self love and was ready to give up. I've been taking self portraits (almost) every week for more than a year and I'm starting to get a bit fed up. Even if I know all the benefits behind this project, all I want to do lately is to help others in their Self Love journey and forget a bit about myself.
But I also know that to help others, I have to keep going, keep experimenting and keep creating.
Today, Aline from @thebboost posted something about how it's important to keep showing up, even when we're not at our best. And it motivated me enough to get ready for these god damn self portraits.
So while I was preparing my set, I started wondering how I could help people in their Self Love Journey through these pictures and I remembered how important it is to offer a different representation than what we see in medias. This is what I love in my work and this is what people love in my work as well. This is exactly why I have to keep going. These self portraits aren't just for me, but for everyone who feel inspired to love themselves a bit more everytime they look at them.
So these pictures are a Love Letter to my saggy body and all saggy bodies. We don't have to be validated by mainstream medias to be wonderful as we are.
Talk to you soon,
Flavie.
