Strike a Pose!


A couple of months ago I was trawling through Facebook during one of my nightly 'catch up' sessions and I saw a competition to win a deluxe modelling photo-shoot from the awarding winning Dave Spinx photography near Leeds. I thought I'd enter, because I wanted a few promotional shots for my blog and really wanted to see if I possessed the skills to be a model. I've admitted several times before that I have quite a lot of anxiety surrounding my body image and lately I've been trying to do the best to increase my confidence. Pole dancing lessons have been a fabulous start to my body confidence challenge, but I knew being in front of the camera and having the lights shining on me would be the ultimate test. 



When I arrived at the studio I was a really shy, but a few shots in I began laughing and really enjoying myself. I learnt that photo shoots can be harder work than they originally look and you feel like you've had a gymnastic workout with some of the poses they get you doing. Despite all this, I had a fabulous time and i'm really impressed with the photos. Sometime soon I'm going to be investing in a brand new blog layout and I plan to use quite a few of these images with it. 


These photographs have made me realise that I should embrace the body and style I have and accept the fact that I can be photogenic at times. If someone asked me to go do another photo shoot now, I'd definitely say yes. I might not be Elle Mcphearson or Kate Moss, but hey I'm not that bad either.





What do you think of these photos?
