Within a few minutes of meeting a client the other day I heard this, “I’m just a real person.” More than likely my facial expression registered a complete blank because we are all ‘real people’ with no need for the limiting adjective ‘just’ preceding the comment. What she meant, of course, is that she isn’t a model or a fitness, figure, or body building competitor. I think she wanted affirmation, mostly from herself, and maybe a little from me, that she’s a worthy subject for our kind of photography. It’s for people like her that we started BodyPhotage so women could see the unique beauty of their body and begin to appreciate, accept and celebrate themselves.
