Me, by Sundari 💙 @bysundariphoto

I’d admired Sundari for years, so to see her name appear on the guest speaker list for WYRD Retreat was super exciting. I wanted to listen, to learn and to just spend unrushed time with someone with such creative oomph, and such empathy for those she photographs.

What I didn’t expect was to be her subject during our portraiture exercise. It was in these ten minutes I learned more than I would have done in a 1000 hour lecture on how to make someone feel comfortable in front of the camera. 

Sundari isn’t afraid to ask the real questions, to look you in the eye and actually listen to your answer. Her energy, her interest in you and the space she created just by being in it, showed me just how the energy between photographer and client can shift the power of the photographs made in that moment. 

I feel like me in these images - not the smile for the camera version. The one who’s been through it, the one who came out the other side, the mother and the wife, the friend, the photographer and the mid-thirty year old still figuring out life and being okay with that, being proud actually.

I’m so glad I said yes! Thank you, Sundari. 💙
