DAY 15/31:

Prompt: “Embrace something you used to hate”

Troy Ali

As a photographer I spend a lot of time helping other people find the parts of themselves that they consider beautiful. That “thing” can be literal or abstract, posed or candid as long as at the end of our session the subject can look at the image we’ve created together and feel a sense of pride in themselves and their bodies. It has taken me a very long time to turn that same message inwards and apply it to myself. But personally I often find that the best way to find the beauty within myself is to search out the beauty in those around me. And day by day I come a little closer to comfortably embracing the parts of myself I used to hate.
