I was intrigued by Isabel’s aura and loved to capture herself being comfy in her own skin. She was radiating with self-confidence. I love the collaboration with other creatives and we gave it our best to create this series.

I feel proud of what I’ve become. I think that that is visible here. These photos show all the things I’ve learnt to love about myself.
