“Photogenic” is a Dirty Word…and Other Conversations to Break the Beauty Myth
May 9 @ 12:00 pm - 1:00 pm PDT
Free
Presented by
Meka Hemmons, Personal Branding Photographer
Description
Ripping apart all kinds of undercover filthy words when describing how we look, like “un-photogenic” and “flawed” and “imperfect” is just the beginning. There is a long and terrible history of toxic messaging rooted in our media and echoing in our psyche that prevents us from simply being able to look in the mirror and smile at ourselves, let alone show up confidently to be photographed. Having transitioned from working with high profile glamour culture to turning every-day women into believers of their own stunning power, I’m here proving that beauty is not completely in the eye of the beholder… but it is absolutely in the energy you’re giving and receiving.
During this session we will:
- Address damaging and common habits and language we use to amplify our “flaws”.
- Discuss how to prepare yourself to change your perception of your reflection.
- Share tools and techniques to own your beauty & power.
