You want to know something that has been helping my confidence lately? Going to photomeets such as LM Meets with SkyeeHighh! They really have helped spark my creativity again as well as give me something that makes me want to take care of myself more. Self care is fun and all but some of it is legit hard to keep up with and having a tangible reason to do so can make it easier to actually DO. So it has helped me take care of my skin more, want to work out and do crunches more, as well as take care of my teeth. I realize how self conscious I am of them while shooting and I've been in the process of regaining control of my dental health. It's interesting how highlighting certain insecurities can make you more proactive in either regain control of tht flaw or of just not giving a fuck anymore.
I have always loved to model. It's a great outlet being able to turn yourself into the work of art. And it tests your levels of creativity. What can you do with the space you are provided. How can you make yourself more of a piece of art in a way. And there are so many ways to do this! I love photomeets, especially LM Meets, because I can meet a variety of photographers and find who I vibe with. Who I am most comfortable bearing every angle of myself to and who I can bounce ideas off of. I've even been able to schedule private shoots for trade after since we have enjoyed working with or around each other. This includes fellow models who also like to photograph. Photomeets are a different beast though and it can be overwhelming at times dealing with a handful or more of photographers all taking your photo. It can be even harder to get photos in return at times. But they are always a worthwhile experience. Just always remember the buddy system is a safe system.
