Everyday Being

Everyday Being

Selected in FotoDoc Photo Contest 2025

These images hold no pose, no polish. What they reveal is a body without shame, a life without illusion, and a human presence unfiltered by performance. This is a look at the self beyond the expectations of presentation — raw, vulnerable, and real.

This project is about acceptance. Acceptance of the body in its natural state. Acceptance of oneself in the roles of mother, woman, and simply a person moving through ordinary time. It’s a quiet protest against perfection — against the pressure to be composed, covered, curated.

Light here works as a metaphor: it exposes, illuminates — but also blinds. It reminds us how easily truth is lost in the pursuit of appearance. And yet, truth is quiet. It lives in accident, in imperfection, in the moments between.

True being is in the unguarded, imperfect, and honest moment. Where no one is watching, we are closest to ourselves.
