For this project I decided to do another series of self portraiture. I kept it relatively simple with my makeup, adding stars and fake freckles because that is what I think is beautiful. I also left the photos raw because I have always had a hard time seeing my outer beauty, which affects my view of my inner self as well. I've never associated myself with the words 'pretty' or 'beautiful' and these photos give me a different view because I never see myself in the mirror the way I see myself in these photos. Whenever I do self portraits I hate them because of some inner self-loathing I have yet to overcome but being able to post and share these ones boosts my confidence and brings me one step closer to self-love. There are only six photos here because of that self-loathing and that inability to put photos of myself that I hate out in the open. I can sit for three hours and take hundreds of self portraits and still only be satisfied with six of those photos because I do not like the way I look or because there is something I see that's wrong with my face or my hands or my hair. Hopefully by sharing more personal photos like these I will be able to overcome the obstacle of self-loathing that has burdened me my whole life.
