Betrayal // Loyalty

Collection

Moments of Empowerment

Description

I was once asked if I was free the following Monday to do a shoot for a client. Every cell in my body did not want to do this job. It would be a long hard day, not well paid and wouldn’t produce photos I’d be excited about creating and sharing. But I had nothing else booked for that day and it felt so wrong to say no to money when I’d otherwise just be doing admin work. I caught myself being in this fearful ‘take whatever you can get’ mentality rather than being true to myself and realised I was tired of betraying myself and doing work that doesn’t serve me. So I turned it down. Then I cried and called my mum saying I felt like such an idiot saying no to paid work. But underneath that, I felt a sense of respect that I'd stayed loyal to myself.  A few days later, something beautiful happened. I was offered to do an incredible shoot, completely in line with everything I’m about - empowerment, sustainability and gender equality. The images I could create from this shoot would be portfolio pieces, photos I’d be really proud of and use to get future work. The catch? This shoot had to happen on Monday. If I’d agreed to do the first shoot, I would have had to turn down this one. You never know what’s waiting for you around the corner. When you stay loyal to yourself and say no when you need to, wonderful things await you.
