Self Reflection by Lizzy Gadd

A lot of people have asked me lately why I shoot self portraits… The short answer: Over the last 10 years, self portraiture has become a therapeutic experience for me. A way I can keep a connection with not just nature, but with my own thoughts and emotions also, which I find easier to delve into when I’m alone (with the exception of Pepper), while hanging out in nature with just my camera. It started as a way to step outside of my comfort zone to raise my own self-confidence and photography skillset, and then it became a way to feel both empowered and humbled at the same time, being able to intertwine myself with my love of the wilderness, documenting the beauty of each moment I’ve been fortunate enough to experience and to remember my stories and feelings with no words necessary. <3
