12 years of being a professional photographer and this is the first photograph i have of me where i’m *posing* with my gear 🥺

“hey can you take a photo of me?” 

seems like a normal sentence for most, but it took me 34 years to say it to someone.

so much grieving for my past self today. my past self who was lovingly called jaadi (means fat in gujarati) well into my teens, my past self who was called big priyanka for being taller and fat, and black priyanka for being darker than the other priyanka in our class, my past self who was told by my ex that i have a flat butt and shouldn’t wear loose pants, my past self who always had to get custom stitching for traditional clothes bc either my shoulders were too broad for my size or my arms were too fat.

as kids when we were taught to be kind to our brothers and sisters, they forgot to tell us to be kind to ourselves too.

if you're missing the lore on why this moment + photograph was cast worthy you may want to go back a year to this cast

Ooohhh

Have you looked into these harnesses as you do your more event photography? I wonder if it'll help you back and stay aligned a bit more.

You and the gear deserve the spotlight 🤍

12 years behind the lens and now the spotlight’s on you, well deserved! 🙌
