Practice!

Yes, nobody is a natural in front of the camera! And if you want to get comfortable and look good in photos, then you must practice.

I know it seems like a vain and inconsequential skill but it makes a difference in this modern world!

You don’t need to become a model or spend 10,000 hours practicing but basic understanding of how the camera works and how you communicate with it, is essential if you’re in business or if you have your photos taken for work or family but I think the most important reason is so that you learn to see yourself and learn to accept yourself.

The camera has been my catalyst in learning to see myself with compassion and kindness and I love sharing my experience and expertise with other women.

That’s what you will find here.

Looking comfortable in photos is about using comfortable body language.
Posing is body language.
Learn how to communicate with the camera and you’re set! 😉

I am Rigel, a portrait photographer and I created this space for women in midlife who have been telling the story of an un-photogenic woman.
I dream of persuading women to leave the stories of not enoughness behind, look at who they are and run their lives from a story of completeness and growth and expansion!
The camera has been my personal catalyst and I know from experience how allowing myself to be seen, by me, is where the secret to true confidence lies.
And when I accepted me and saw myself as confident, my life expanded and my business is growing and my overall contentedness (is that a word?) is extremely high.

Give it a shot, literally. 😉

In full transparency, I NEVER ask my husband to take my photo! 😆
It just feels weird.
I’m a selfie girl!
I’m a feminist!
I can do it!
I love my selfie stick/tripod! 😉

And if you’re new here, welcome! I’m Rigel, just regular everyday woman who used to think she was not photogenic and then discovered being photogenic is not a thing, it’s a skill and now I show other women who don’t like the way they look in pictures the art of visual confidence.

Do you like having your photo taken?
