A confidence boosting experience for teens to uncover their own unique beauty - what makes them special inside & out
In the studio we will allow them to open up to their own unique gifts, talents, characteristics, that make them one of a kind, inside and out. They will be given a voice about how they feel, who they are, and how they want to show up to the world and be able to claim their own beauty.
That’s Beauty Empowerment!
This project began with the goal of redefining what true beauty really is and how beauty is portrayed on social media.
So often teens are bombarded with imagery of what society perceives as beautiful. While this unrealistic beauty standard has always been around, social media has only amplified this effect and it has put this in the forefront of our teens’ daily lives.
With the Beauty Empowerment Project, my goal is to bring uniqueness, individiuality, and accpetance to the forefront and highight the fact that teens do not need to look a certain way in order to be accepted and fit in.
My mission: redefine how beauty is depicted on social media, and every day life, and to photograph teens in a manner that they wanted to be seen, not how society wants them to be seen. The result are images that allow these teens to walk away feeling more confident, empowered than before and to have powerful photos to showcase what true beauty really is.
Who is this experience for?
This is for any teen (ages 13-18) who wants a confidence boost about who they are and how they want to be seen in the world. It’s a safe space to be accepted and celebrated.
