Self-portraiture is a powerful tool that will allow you to unlock a new level of vulnerability in your work and self development as well. .
- Within my 6 years of experience as a photographer, I have learned that incorporating emotion in your work can not only allow for you to create powerful art that can connect with your audience, but can also help with your healing journey as well.
