In this episode, Beth Cougler Blom talks with Michele Mateus about owning who we are, putting ourselves 'out there', and expressing ourselves fully through portrait photography – whether we're facilitators of learning or anyone else who needs or wants to show up in photos.

Beth and Michele also talk about:

• the vulnerability of having our photo taken
• the importance of evoking emotions through photography
• smashing beauty standards and saying no to creating 'cookie cutter' photos
• shifting our relationship with ourselves and our bodies
• the impact of great photography
