She told me she was nervous.
She’d never done a shoot like this before. She didn’t know what to expect, how she’d feel, or whether she’d be able to let go enough to really embrace it.
Then she stepped in front of my camera… and absolutely S M A S H E D I T. 🔥
And then we put her in a water tank….
Because sometimes the version of yourself you’re waiting to meet is hiding just behind the nerves.
Chanel didn’t need to become someone else for this shoot. She just needed to trust herself, trust the process, and realise that she was already capable of so much more than she thought.
This is what bo***ir can be. Not just beautiful photographs.
It can be permission to take up space. To be seen. To feel powerful. To try something completely outside your comfort zone and discover that you bloody love it.
Chanel, you were incredible. And I hope you look at these images and see what I saw behind my camera:
A woman who dared herself to do something new… and absolutely owned it. 🖤
