How a RAW Session Works:
Step 1: The Pre-Session Chat
Before we even touch the camera, we sit down for a relaxed chat to get to know you a bit better. This is a judgment-free zone where you can share what you're comfortable with—whether it's your hopes, fears, or what you aim to get out of this session. Don't worry; there's no script to follow. We want to hear your genuine thoughts so we can better capture your authentic self.
Step 2: Setting the Atmosphere
We aim to create a comfortable space that allows you to be your true self. Whether that means playing your favorite tunes in the background or ensuring the room is a safe space where you feel free to express yourself, we make it happen.
Step 3: The Conversation Begins
As the camera gets ready, we start the heart of the RAW session—a candid conversation about your journey toward body acceptance. This is your time to let it all out: the struggles, the breakthroughs, the good days, and the bad.
Step 4: Capturing the RAW Moments
While you're engrossed in the conversation, our camera starts to capture the raw, unfiltered moments of your expressions. There are no prompted smiles, no 'say cheese', just you being you. These images aim to encapsulate your real emotions, preserving them as visual mementos of your authenticity.
Step 5: The Reveal
Once the session is over, we'll review the images together. This is an opportunity to reflect on the experience, offering you a newfound perspective on your journey of self-discovery and body acceptance.
Step 6: Final Touches
After selecting your preferred images, we'll do some minimal post-processing to ensure the photos are as raw as the emotions they capture. No heavy retouching, no dramatic filters, just a artistic version of your authentic self.
Step 7: Your RAW Story
You'll receive a collection of images that serve as a powerful narrative of your RAW session, ready to share or keep as a personal testament to your journey toward reclaiming your authenticity within.
So there it is, that's how a RAW: Reclaiming Authenticity Within session unfolds. It's more than just a photo session; it's an intimate experience aimed at celebrating your path to unapologetic body acceptance.
Note from the Artist

Hey there!
In my years as a photographer, I've often witnessed individuals scrutinizing their photos, zeroing in on what they perceived as "flaws" – be it a scar, a wrinkle, or any other unique feature. This recurrent theme made me reflect deeply on our collective relationship with authenticity and self-perception. It was this introspection that led to the inception of RAW: Reclaiming Authenticity Within. The RAW Series isn’t just another photo session; it’s a transformative experience. Participants are invited to engage in candid conversations about their body narratives, life experiences, and the very elements they might be hesitant to embrace. As the dialogue unfolds, my camera captures their genuine, unfiltered emotions. These images aren’t mere snapshots; they're intimate visual chronicles of personal journeys. My aim with RAW is profound yet straightforward: to refocus attention from perceived imperfections to the richness and depth of individual stories. Every scar, wrinkle, and unique feature paints a vivid picture of one’s life, and I'm here to celebrate that. Through RAW, I aspire to show participants and viewers alike that there's unmatched beauty in authenticity. Thank you for joining me on this journey of self-discovery and acceptance. I invite you to experience the RAW series and hope it offers you a fresh perspective on the captivating tapestry of life. Thank you for visiting, Katie Lowry Tisler |
