Backstory:

I wanted to create a storytelling image. After deciding to use a neutral background, I gathered a white sheet, iPhone, tripod, and remote shutter. I've been using the garage for a makeshift studio, as of late. I made a couple of trips in and out of the space, until I had all the goodies strategically placed. I found a black dress, in the closet, and thought it felt right. I slipped into it, peeled off my socks, and made the last trip to the garage. This creative gathering is all part of the process.

 

I twirled, jumped, and did it again and again, until I was laughing at the thought of all this play in order to fulfill the want to create. After I finished my edits, I considered a title. 'Be You' seemed to perfectly envelope the image. Yes, I expressed much energy and effort into my creative process. It matters. It is important. It is me. I hope the image encourages you to be you. Being yourself, is gifting all of us with a magical uniqueness that is intended to be shared.
