⏮ REWIND // Trish Hadley: To Be Fuckable

You know, I, I've thought about this conversation a lot.

Sorry.

Am I jumping in too early? Oh, go ahead.

Okay.

I thought about this conversation a lot and I have a specific story that happened to me recently that, that really brought me back to it.

And it's just about being respectful and sensitive scenarios in a studio setting.

Um, I had a portrait I was taking and, And to lighten the mood, ironically, I was like, oh, I want to get this person to smile a little bit.

So I'm like, hey, tell me about someone you love.

Tell me about one of the most important people in your life.

And he thought for a moment, he was like, well, that'd be my brother.

We talked about him a little bit.

Turns out he passed away and the client like actually started crying in my studio in front of me.

And it put upon my back the realization that this is a space where people need to feel safe and respected.

And that is exactly what Trish is doing.

Empowering people to be safe, respected, and sexy.

Well, so she she she has this like rare ability to photograph somebody in a way that instills a heightened sense of self.

Yes.

Right.

And that's and not and not self-importance.

That's a that's an important distinction, I think.

Right.

I do, too.

It's the kind of confidence that comes with seeing yourself in a way that like you didn't know you could.

Yeah.

You know, like in a way that is strong and sexy and just comfortable in your own skin.
