Running Notes

Questions to myself:

Reflect on photos and which ones I really like and what story they tell. Watch other photographers reflect on their work& watch how they talk about their work.

What narratives are the images hsowing and what do I want to tell? What do I enjoy so much about photography to connected deeply to other woman and create a safe space where their confidence is boosted not harmed. Where they can feel proud in their femininity.

Who/What inspires me?
