Through Someone Else’s Eyes + freewrite
If you have followed me here for years, you’ve used to seeing a very posed, curated and edited version of me, completely controlled by myself, in every stage. I have been very very particular and strict on what is shown of me on the internet, flinching at the sight of someone else pulling up a camera and pointing it towards me, even though modeling is something I have always wanted to do.
Social functions, networking and such have been hell when I was so extremely worried about my looks.
Here’s what you will think I’m gonna say next
”but I’m older, wiser and more confident now so I don’t care about looks anymore and understand there is more to life”
or some other bullshit people like to spew. WRONG. If something is bothering you 24/7, fix the issue and POOF, you’re gonna feel better and be happier.
I had problems, big flaws, and I’ve worked on fixing them so I can leave the house feeling good. I am a forever work-in-progress but in the last six months I’ve gotten a handle on one of my biggest issue regarding looks and it has changed my life. I can now live.
Even a year ago, I would have been gutted, gutted, if someone had taken and posted these kinds of pictures of me where I have no control. Unposed, unaware, unedited. There has been and are pictures like that somewhere on this chain, that I have cries myself to sleep for. Not fun and doesn’t make you want to socialise like ever again.
I know I am no Kate Moss but these days when someone takes candid photos, I’m pretty fine with it and it’s so cool to look at oneself and be like ”hey, I look like a human and not a swamp monster.”
Me when someone touches my camera:
Electronic-terrorism, voice to skull and neuro monitoring on Hive and Steem. You can ignore this, but your going to wish you didnt soon. This is happening whether you believe it or not. https://ecency.com/fyrstikken/@fairandbalanced/i-am-the-only-motherfucker-on-the-internet-pointing-to-a-direct-source-for-voice-to-skull-electronic-terrorism
Well done on working on this issue... it sounds super intense! We're all a work in progress and it's a shame that people view 'working through your issues' negatively when it's really what we should all be doing whenever we can.
Looks like a fun shoot. Hope the clients were rapt with the autumn colours.

STOPTo support your work, I also upvoted your post!
I like candid shots much better generally! The unposed shots of my kids are always the ones that I treasure the most, that bring back the best memories.
Both have their places, either one is not above the other, it’s just for different things and uses.
to be honest natural beauty is far more stunning than make up enhanced.
You are a natural beauty. Seriously. Long live the natural beauty x
Yeah that’s all cool if you are the lucky person who is naturally beautiful. I on the other hand wear makeup, have my hair done etc. Men seriously have no idea what a woman looks with and without makeup 😅
???? from your shots you are ridiculously beautiful. you need to believe in yourself girl!
In this post .... Eve is REALLY uncovered!!!!
I think these candid shots are GREAT!!! It looks like you were having a great shoot!
Your leaves look about 2 weeks ahead of ours (with respect to colour change).
What? You a freewriter now? Everyone with a pen and paper now thinks they can just go and write, this society is stumbling and will cripple apart any moment now :P
Looking good Evelina, I loled at "when someone touches my camera" haha.
Well fuck it! If everyone with a camera is a photographer, I’m a writer too.
Everyone with a cellphone is a vlogger now :P
You shouldn't be worried about looks, you're gorgeous, and you take nice pictures.
