Hello, I’m Kara.

This is my first post here.

 

I’ve been working with photography for fifteen years now — and in recent years, I’ve been exploring it as a therapeutic practice. These sessions are more than images. They become spaces where emotion takes shape, where questions are asked through the body, and where our quieter aspects — the ones that rarely find language — begin to speak.

 

For this shoot, the intent was to express something raw and true. Something strange, immediate, unfiltered. We used Amélie as both a visual reference and a soundtrack — the music played softly throughout the hour, guiding the rhythm of the movement. We weren’t chasing poses, but allowing the body to respond, to move as it wanted to. Somewhere along the way, tenderness surfaced — subtle, unassuming, almost hidden.

 

Later, Alya wrote in her instagram that “tenderness is her strength.” — something long buried, now spoken.

 

That was the shape this session took.

Do you think we managed to express that tenderness — and that immediacy?
