Also one last one! Music! It’s such a powerful tool! Set the mood, create a setting, bring a scenario to life, curate the vibe and spoil yourself with things that amplify what you want to exude from the images. Things that make you feel hot or sexy. Things for you!

I hope it helps! 💖💖💖 I know for me, being able to just get in the zone and pose without the interruption of having to take individual photos or set timer shots helps me so much. And I think the shots reflect that!

Also selfie camera video recording yourself practicing faces, a bit like acting. Pretend you’re with a partner or lover. What feels good. What looks good. Watch it back, adjust. I find music and thinking about channeling feelings or sensuality helps me too. Trying to portray the woman I want to be

By trying to replicate work or poses I thought were hot or admired, it helped me get a feel for things and gave me a foundation to then make it more “me” of that makes sense

What a pose “felt” like and how it looked. Visual feedback helps me so much. You can pause the video and screenshot stills too. It’s a bit test and learn. But really helped me. I also save inspo on Insta to try to recreate. See how it goes, and adjust. A ring light helps an enormous amount too!

I’d love to offer!! Something that really helped me, was a photographer told me to record myself on my phone. Doing anything. Everything. Then watch it back from an outside perspective. See yourself as a partner or voyeur might. It really helped me “ground” myself and create an association with

Do you or would you want to learn? Happy to share things that helped me. I started taking photos to document my transition, which developed into nudes as a form of self expression and self love. I take nudes for me first and foremost. Like a celebration of self.

Yes! It really oozes depth from the light/shadow play. It must be a lovely thing to be able to include your husband in your creativity/art/expression. Such a lovely way to bond and connect I feel! 🖤🖤🖤

I’ve found it incredibly rewarding and empowering being in front of the lens, I’d love to learn to capture the beauty I see in the people I care about. The connection between the photographer and the subject can be so beautiful, especially with a bit of unpacking, ie. what you see/value in a moment

This is great! Love the light use and composition 🖤

I think the best tip I got from a photographer, as a professional model, was to record myself. Doing anything, everything. Watch it back, see yourself from an outsider perspective. You might find new angles you didn’t know you had. Plus it’s handy to not have to shoot singles. Screenshot the video

It’s really hard sometimes isn’t it to be inspired when you’re in the same space all the time? I moved to a smaller house and I’m finding this challenging. I save a lot of inspo on Instagram in a folder to try and recreate. Another thing that helps me is a prop to mess around with.

It REALLY helped me build a better relationship with my body, confidence, self worth and being ok taking up space/existing as a trans woman. If I can be ok to post pictures of myself baring all publicly, I can be ok being me. Like trust falls. Exposure therapy. If you don’t post, still do it for you

I made a lot of amazing connections via Instagram through art, felt a sense of community and I feel like a lot of that was lost. So much manufactured content. No heart or soul. Not as much art for art’s sake. I’m hoping to find something like that again here. #selflove #art #artist #artcommunity

I’ve struggled so much post Covid to repair that relationship with myself, my body, art and expression. Gone to therapy, worked on myself, given myself kindness and time. I’m finally starting to feel ready and motivated to create again to express, create, connect and feel.

Social media pressures, COVID’s impact on my mental health, and being made to feel bad or “naughty”/wrong by Instagram community guidelines and censorship. I developed a negative association with something that was so natural, beautiful and dear to me. I was forced to stop. I lost the spark of joy.

I built and put work into developing a very healthy relationship with art, self expression and creativity. It helped me find “me”. Such a therapeutic process. So much self love and acceptance. But that relationship and my mindset towards modelling started to become unhealthy and toxic.

I’m #trans , I fell into modelling by accident but it turned out to be one of, if not the most powerful and integral tool and medium for me to build self confidence, self worth and a healthier relationship with my body, my transness, taking up space and existing. An act of rebellion.

It was my favourite kind of shoot. A setting where I had creative and expressive freedom. I brought along my speaker, my playlist ready and some feelings I wanted and needed to channel. It was and is like therapy for me. I shot some of my best work in 2020, I felt so aligned and I’m tune with myself

This is one of my absolute favourite shots of me. I feel like it captures so much “me”. It was shot in a small break between Covid lockdowns in Melbourne, Australia. I’d been working so hard to be fit and ready to shoot and I was determined to not let lockdowns impact my mental health or goals
