You get so used to being looked at a certain way, or not looked at at all, that when the marriage ends you don’t know what you’re working with anymore. You look in the mirror and you look tired, older, like a stranger. And the ugly little thought creeps in: maybe this is why he left.
Let me tell you what actually walks into my studio. A woman who finally, for the first time in years, gets to be seen on her own terms. Nobody to perform for. And when she sees her photos she stops mentioning him at all, because the woman in those pictures doesn’t look left behind. She looks free.
Follow me. I photograph women on the other side of divorce every week, and I want you to see how good the other side can look.
