Episode 19: Be Your Own Revolution

Leigh and Kristin are joined by Liz Stubbs, photographer, and Penny Treese, fine artist, to discuss their recent collaboration on "Celebration Portraits". In these magical portraits, the subject goes through an intense photography session with Liz and Penny, designed to bring out their "inner wild", their most authentic self. In this process, and accompanying conversations, Liz and Penny learn about the subject and get to know her. Once the photography is finished, Penny gets to work turning the photographic portrait into a piece of fine art, treated with whatever media she feels is appropriate for that person. In the end, the finished portrait should be a visual representation of the subject's spirit-- her soul. Leigh and Kristin discuss the intersection of this visual process with their work with women on a remake. We discuss the fear and trepidation women feel going into a revealing and personally baring photo shoot, and how powerful and strong they feel afterward. It's parallel with the feeling women have as they truly shed their old selves and begin to remake their life. It truly is transformational. Check them out here! : Celebrations Portraits
