Miss Faye Daniels

As my website closes I want to get into doing more self portraits and being photographed by other photographers that I both know and love.

Things here will be different than some of the things you’ve seen before. It won’t all be bright, fun, pin upy images. Instead there will be variety and lots of it. Some you will agree with and some you won’t.

Brace yourself.

Self Portrait - Waverly Hotel - Toronto ON June 2013

(you’re probably going to want to click this and make it bigger)

When people see these, they’ll say I’m ugly. They’ll say these pictures are unflattering. They’ll say whatever they want about my skin and about my messy hair. They’ll send me hate messages because they will assume that fur is real (it’s not). These aren’t the type of pictures that get noticed because these aren’t pictures of half naked skinny women. They’re not photoshopped to be perfect. Yet there’s something behind them that all those popular photos don’t have - real, unedited, emotion.

I think we need more pictures like these.

More pictures of people not hiding behind fake smiles. More pictures of non-perfect bodies. More pictures of real, unedited, everything.

Self Portrait - Mississauga ON - April 2013

I contemplate everything lately. This takes up literally all of my time. I don’t think I like where I am any longer but I’m not sure where to go from here.
