Podcast with Ema: Embracing Natural Beauty and Authenticity
feat. www.instagram.com/emaluzia/
by www.instagram.com/cedric_tosoni/
In this episode, I introduce you to a meaningful encounter Ema, a
psychologist and model whom I met on the island of Madeira. What
immediately struck me about her was her raw, unfiltered beauty, free
from artificial enhancements or social media façades. In a world
overwhelmed by unrealistic beauty standards, Ema embodies the kind of
natural elegance and sincerity that I strive to highlight in my
photography.
Our collaboration initially took shape through a photoshoot, where we
explored the "Be Yourself" philosophy a celebration of true, unaltered
individuality. But beyond the visual aspect, Ema is also an inspiring
woman with a sharp perspective on social media, psychology, and the
modeling industry in a place as unique as Madeira.
In this conversation, we dive into her journey, her relationship with
self-image, the pressures imposed by social media, and the crucial need
to embrace one’s true self in today’s world. It’s an honest and
thought-provoking exchange, one that I hope will resonate with anyone
looking to reconnect with their own authenticity.
Enjoy the listen!
