The Art of Feeling Seen
Read what Mandy’s assistant Lorin has to say about the intimacy of being photographed and the power of feeling seen.
“Before this shoot, I was still finding my stride with choosing my own comfort before my perceived self-image. I decided to push that energy outward, so as to meet Mandy’s creative energy and to flow with her artistic direction. I completely trusted her with my vulnerability. I like to think it is that trust that made these images possible. That, and Mandy’s expertise and clever wit.
I didn’t feel like a subject being observed, I felt like a person being witnessed and given a humble spotlight.”
The Bead Weaver
Hand beaded earrings with beautiful colors and designs that are nature inspired.
