I'm supporting Ian-X’s "Project Self-Estememe" [link]

I hope you will join me and spread the word.

The idea is simple, give someone a homework project, where with your encouragement, they themselves will create proof of their own beauty. Think of it as glamour self-portrait therapy. They can either take the photos themselves, or ask a friend or photographer to take the photos for them.

I tag one of my fans who I very nearly got to work with last year, but for personal reasons she cancelled at the last minute. ~xxhugsxx

I’m really pleased to say Rudy has accepted the offer and has agreed to let me be her photographer for this project….

1.) Portrait shot:
Black and white or colour portrait(s), which must show your whole face. This means no making faces, no blowing out the contrast so we can't make out your face clearly, no blurring past recognition, etc.
This is a sample from my gallery:


2.) "Artistic Nude" Style
These photos should be in the style of artistic nudes, but given the nature of the idea (tagging someone) they of course don't at all need to be revealing. The idea is to be naked with yourself in front of the camera, but the photos themselves should probably be rated PG.
This is a sample from my gallery:


3.) Standing Outdoors
The final category is full-length standing portrait(s) taken outdoors. These should be in color, and I encourage doing interesting things with the tone of these to enhance the setting. You should be standing facing the camera (no shots with your back to the camera) with your face clearly visible.
Here is a sample from my gallery:


Can you think of someone on here who likes to hide her face? Who thinks she is fat, or ugly? Tag her (or him!) and get the ball rolling. You can feel free to do more than one, but one at a time is best.

Please spread the word. Help show someone how they really look. I hope that people will take part in this idea, and help it spread and grow. Ugliness is far more rare than people think, and beauty can be found anywhere.
