Today on my Facebook Page I felt drawn to put out the question “What is holding you back from taking self-portraits” and I’ve been so grateful that people are willing to share what are the main roadblocks that are stopping them from taking self-portraits.
In teaching Be Your Own Beloved, I hear lots of stories of things that might be blocking people (as we work in the class to get them out of our way)….things like feeling like you don’t have the right gear, fear, not wanting to look vain, your pesky inner critic or feeling like your picture won’t be good enough.
Of course, once we get working on taking our self-portraits in the class we often realize that they are stories that we can indeed re-write!
If you feel drawn to, please come on over and join the conversation or feel free to share your response to the question here in comments!
