自分写真のススメ

 先日機会があって、父に写真を撮ってもらった。人のは撮るくせに自分が映るのは苦手で全然好きじゃなかった、でも写ったのをみてみたら、自分的になかなか気に入ってしまった。心境の変化なのか、自分で仕事をしていることもあってSNSなどに顔出ししなくてはなぁ、と思っていたことなどもあって無意識に覚悟を決めていたのか、また、自分で体感しなくては人様におすすめもできないな、とも思っていたし、、。早速、インスタグラムやwebのabout page に掲載、、。プリントまでしてもらって、今や部屋に飾ってまでいる。なんだか、気に入った写真は自己肯定感まで上がる気さえしてしまった。これは定期的に撮ったほうが面白そうだ、とも思った。　これを機に自分写真を全力で全力で推したいと思っている。自分写真、おすすめですよ。定期的に撮られることをお勧めいたします♪

The other day, I had a rare chance to have my father take a photo of me. I’ve always been on the shooting side of the camera, not the one being photographed. Honestly, I never liked it. But when I looked at the photos, I was surprised—I actually liked how they turned out.

Maybe it’s a shift in my mindset. Running my own business has made me realize I need to share more of myself on social media, even in small ways. Somewhere deep down, I must have already made that decision. I also thought, if I don’t experience it myself, how can I truly recommend it to others?

So, without hesitation, I uploaded one to Instagram and even added it to the About page on my website. My father went as far as making a print for me, and now it’s framed and hanging in my room. Strangely enough, looking at a photo I really like gave me a little boost of self-confidence. It made me think—maybe this is something worth doing regularly.

From this experience, I’ve become a big believer in “self-portraits.” I highly recommend having your photos taken from time to time. You might be surprised by how uplifting it feels.
