I tired this shot a second time, this time facing forward, with a more powerful stare. I didn’t want to project too much vulnerability or weakness. Still finding my place in all this work. Again, I’m trying to draw the viewer to the thighs, and belly, and admire their supple shape in a positive way, instead of hide them in shame of the size they represent.
