"Confidence is a mindset. For some, that mindset is ever-present; for others, it takes some work to get there."
Esther Perel
That 'work' is specific for each individual, depending on their past but also their emotional and physical context. For me it meant -after some digging and introspection- that I needed to get familiarised with my body image, my strong points, my shortcomings, and embrace them.
That's when and where I picked up my first camera and started shooting. As an exercise, as exposure therapy, as something that eventually bloomed into a passion for photography. Not only that, I got to know myself better and reap the benefits of acceptance and self love.
Visual Kinks, the Instagram profile was created for that reason initially, to be seen and to become comfortable in my own skin. Now it's evolved and hopefully ever evolving, just like we all should.
I would love to get the chance and help others through their own journey, as photography is an amazing instrument
when the purpose is growth and self confidence.
My name is Catalin, I'm 35 and this is my journey.
