The Art of Observing Yourself Self Portrait Guide
Developing a self-portrait practice that not only enables you to feel more comfortable in front of the lens, but begin to break down unhelpful beliefs you may have around your body? What if instead of fleeing – we stayed and got curious. What if we started really seeing ourselves and documenting our unique journey? The Art of Observing Yourself is 60+pages of comprehensive yet easy-to-understand information on the ‘who, what, where, why, when, and HOW’ of the art of self-portraiture.
An empowering photographic experience, by you - for you.
More than just a work of art, Self-Portraiture is a testament to the power of self-love, compassion and body respect. It encourages us to embrace our bodies and our identities with confidence and pride, and to reject the limiting societal standards that seek to define us.
What is keeping you out of the picture?
It's a common experience.
Not enough time, money or energy.
Over-giving and living from a place of lack and emptiness.
It may be our jobs, family stress, navigating relationships - it all takes a toll + ultimately reflects back at us more often than we would like to admit.
Feeling disembodied and disconnected rom our bodies.

My experience taught me to look to myself for my value, instead of outsourcing that job. Truly seeing myself enabled me to see the woman I forgotten about, the woman I am. I have been seen and I will never be invisible again.

I love this guide, I was not ready to step in front of the camera and have my photograph taken. This guide allowed me to start slowly, on my own terms until I was comfortable. Next step, book my photoshoot with Lesley!

Lesley Stedmon
I’ve built a career and therapeutic practice out of unearthing my own body image beliefs, and helping others do the same.
Through this practice, I’ve evolved beyond what I could have ever imagined, both professionally, and personally. Self-portraits taught me how to be patient, disciplined, and discerning. They’ve challenged me to stay true to myself, and they’ve shifted my perspective about photography and my own self-worth.
What if I told you could develop a self-portrait practice that not only enables you to feel confident in front of the lens, but begin to dismantle some of those beliefs around your body? What if instead of running – we stopped and got curious. What if we started seeing ourselves and documenting our unique journey?
The art of observing our self can be dedicated space for self-compassion and grace. There are few better spaces to work on your relationship with your body than in front of the camera. It is a space to create that is entirely within your control.
