I am excited to have an in-depth conversation with Patrick Falaniko, owner and creator of Goddess Studios in the UK. Patrick has a firm belief that every woman deserves to feel comfortable in her skin, and his work reflects that! Patrick and I met through social media and I have had the honor of having my photo taken by him!

Today, we are going to talk about Patrick’s passion, which is honoring diverse bodies, the divine feminine, and making people feel good in front of the camera. We discuss inclusion in the fashion industry, photography, and how we can find empowerment by becoming more confident and grounded in our bodies!
