I photograph girls aged 8 to 80 and each of them just as beautiful, each as inspiring. Girls have travelled to the Red Shoe Makeovers Studio in Chester from across the UK and beyond for their makeover photography session with Red Shoe. Whatever age you are, you are constantly growing into yourself... and that's what I want to photograph... you as you are today...I think every woman is fabulous and beautiful, and hope that each and every woman sees what the world sees.

Nadia Come as You Are My beautiful friend…and the first to step in through the door and help me work out what Come as You Are is… And she came in with this incredible energy, she stepped into the masculine part of herself, and I apologised for not holding space for this before… you see, I have photographed Nadia a couple of times before… and always concentrated on the feminine. Thank you Nadia for teaching me to hold space… for eating cake with me… and showing up as your awesome self https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54cd254be4b03df1903d76c2/b749ae63-b9aa-47e1-90af-391fa185ba8a/insta-4.jpg Come as You Are Project - Sue. I have photographed Sue before as a Red Shoe Girl… and for her to come back and be a part of Come as You Are totally filled me with joy… This Sue, is content and knows who she is…I think she may forget this at times. And so, I hope that these images will remind her who she is and the love she gives to everyone around her… I’m sending some of that love back to you… https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54cd254be4b03df1903d76c2/b9d74358-0a6c-4cfc-a197-68819084e68e/insta-13.jpg Come as You Are Project - Laura. “I came to the shoot with one aim – to find myself. I went through a life changing event 6 years ago that changed everything about me. I went from being outgoing, confident, and unapologetically Laura to someone who hid herself from the world and wore a permanent mask. As the shoot progressed I felt like I was finding myself more and more and looking at the photos you can see the change in each outfit change. Thank you from the bottom of my heart Sarah for being my bad ass cheerleader.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54cd254be4b03df1903d76c2/2726b4b2-868e-48c6-8479-72749ed2c67f/insta-14.jpg Come as You Are Project - Lauren. A few weeks ago I went for a therapy session, I mean a photoshoot, with the beautiful soul that is Sarah to take part in her project "Come As You Are". And wow, how I struggled with such a simple request. Come as you are... OK, but who am I these days other than Mummy? I felt so confused. What do I wear? Do I put makeup on? What do I represent? WHO. AM. I?! Motherhood can often feel that you're so busy helping your little ones find their own identities, you lose a bit of yourself in the process. When the day of the photoshoot came, I had nothing at all creative to offer. After a brew and wonderful chat, Sarah asked for my thoughts and input, what did I want from this? I tried to fight through the brain fog, but I drew a complete blank. And she saw me. I was lost, but she saw exactly where I was. And she embraced it. She captured me perfectly in that moment. Thank you so much Sarah, for totally understanding something that can be so hard to explain in words.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54cd254be4b03df1903d76c2/8b3e6937-bdad-4810-ba20-89e1967eb9a2/insta-20.jpg Come as You Are Project - Hannah. “Sarah gave me the rarest and greatest of gifts in this shoot, the opportunity to be myself. As if my body language wasn’t enough of a giveaway, I admitted when I arrived that I was feeling pretty awkward, my natural default position in any social situation. Great! Said Sarah, be awkward, let’s do this! I had the most fun embracing the side of me I usually fight hardest to cover, and came away with a real sense of pride and joy in who I truly am. I am awkward and I’m ok with that!” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54cd254be4b03df1903d76c2/2c8225f1-d7f8-4374-aa22-9da091dbea00/insta-23.jpg Come as You Are Project - Fleur. “Come as you are’ she said…with the Nivarna lyrics ringing in my ears I pondered on this as a concept. I’ve been fortunate to experience Sarah’s powerful Red Shoe shoots twice before but without the hair, the make up and the direction who should I show up as? Then it dawned on me…my true self! What transpired was some beautiful raw shots of me, authentic and real. The wild child running free that lives inside of me, unafraid and unapologetic, stripped back, stripped bare, having fun, living wild and free with messy hair and dirty knees…and the woman she has become, the women who been through some shit but is brave enough to live with arms wide open, a full heart, with the wisdom of age and full of child like grace. I once said in a blog a shoot with Sarah is ‘Therapy in Motion.' I still hold that to be true..thank you Sarah for choosing to gift me with this opportunity, for letting the child inside have fun - here's to always living wild and free” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54cd254be4b03df1903d76c2/ee9123a6-5dd3-4f44-8c8e-5af993488cdb/insta-30.jpg Come as You Are Project - Emma. “When I saw Sarah's “Come as you are” project I jumped at the chance to be a part of it. I’ve been photographed by Sarah before but its safe to say I've had some major mental and physical changes since then and to say I'm a different person is an understatement. For as long as I can remember my head has travelled a million miles and hour, leaving me mentally and physically exhausted. My work, relationships and self esteem all suffered and I felt like I was just about “coping” with .life, rather than living. I turned to food for comfort and at 28 I was 7 stone overweight. By chance someone suggested I might have ADHD and one 3 hour psychiatrist appointment later, I'm told I've been living with ADHD for the last 29 years. ADHD is a bit of a taboo subject and until last year I thought it was just something “naughty boys” were labelled with. I now know it’s a lot more common than you think, but because it tends to present differently in females its extremely under of misdiagnosed. While many women feel embarrassed about their diagnosis, I felt relief; my life suddenly made sense. The diagnosis and the medication changed me, inside and out. I'm no longer a shell of a person hiding behind food and baggy clothes. On the day of the shoot me and Sarah spent more time talking and laughing than photographing, she has the natural ability to make you feel completely at ease, even when you're half naked. What Sarah captured shows new, much improved version of me, scars and all. While I'm not 100% used to version 2.0 just yet, I'm finally 100% happy in my own skin.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54cd254be4b03df1903d76c2/13fc1226-1c9c-426c-8f8a-05d8d8949c36/insta-39.jpg Come as You Are Project - Elizabeth. “I went into this feeling a bit awkward, embarrassed and lost. That’s how I feel right now, my chaotic brain has taken over all of me and I don’t feel like myself. I’m too emotional, too sensitive, too scatty, an overthinker, and that further spikes my anxiety and makes me feel like I’m difficult to be around However Sarah . . . . .what an amazing woman. She made me feel so heard and seen and safe. When she told me all she saw was how calm I was, I felt an emotional weight lift. I’ve never had anyone describe me as calm! Having that small feeling of some level of control just made me feel . . . . peaceful. And seeing the pictures, seeing me as ME made me realise I am still in there, content amidst all the chaos. Thank you so much Sarah” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54cd254be4b03df1903d76c2/a55d09ea-7503-4f8c-a63b-69a432529186/insta-46.jpg Come as You Are Project - Carly. “I almost cancelled my shoot, I was so excited by the idea of come as you are and jumped at the chance to get involved, but around the time of the shoot the complete overwhelm of adulting had eaten away at my confidence, and I wasn't sure I was right for it! I'm so glad my dearest friend insisted I should still go and entertained my children for a few hours so I could! Meeting sarah in person, my mind was immediately put at ease and I felt I could truly be myself. I'm completely clueless with makeup and rarely wear any, and the manic pace of life meant I hadn't got around to dying my grey roots. I turned up all flustered with my 2 favourite items of clothing, which after years of not feeling I can justify spending money on myself, I've finally started wearing clothes that are unapologetically me again. This shoot has been a step on the road to acting unapologetically me for the first time in my life, embrace my own chaos and the million tabs constantly open inside my brain. My children love looking at old photos of me (always finding beauty in pictures that I don't like as always finding fault in myself) and now I can add some more new images” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54cd254be4b03df1903d76c2/d2da551c-684a-4bf9-b91e-d3758223672b/insta-54.jpg Come as You Are Project - Carla. “Events through life can impact confidence levels, no matter how strong of a person you are. When I think back to all procedures I’ve been through over the last 6 years since finding out I am BRCA1 positive I feel grateful, grateful I am alive. But I am left with no breasts, no ovaries, no children and living through surgical menopause. How is that seen as womanly? I wanted to feel like I am still all woman and here is where my beautiful friend Sarah’s campaign ‘Come as YOU are’ comes in. The ethos behind it truck a fire in me and many other women. Sarah, you made me feel at ease from our first hug and I feel so blessed to be part of this wonderful campaign you have created. I feel you bring out the best in everyone you meet and I wanted to thank you for bringing out what I thought I had lost a long time ago. My confidence, just as I am. In the words of Frida Kahlo, “We can endure much more than we think we can” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54cd254be4b03df1903d76c2/2f172206-0c7c-4234-ab24-9755234a4a7c/insta-58.jpg Come as You Are Project - Louise. “I've never felt able to 'come as you are' so Sarah's invitation to do so was refreshing and also unfamiliar. I've always been desperate for approval and acceptance. I've been anything but myself and tried to look and behave how others have expected me to. I never believed I could just be me and that that would be enough. I am starting to believe that now though. These photographs are part of my journey towards being unapologetically me. I feel like Sarah just gets me, so to be photographed by her for this project, was an extension of the space she already holds for me to be myself. I'm blessed to have had this opportunity, Sarah. Thank You for photographing me, for accepting me and for loving me. I promise to love myself.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54cd254be4b03df1903d76c2/62d0e515-c929-4232-90f2-ddd85577145a/insta-66.jpg Come as You Are Project - Emma. “I have been photographed by Sarah before, feeling glam and sexy and navigating a new me post mastectomy, reconstruction and a hysterectomy. So naturally I jumped at the chance to be a part of the come as you are project. The night before I nearly cancelled as I realised, I lack confidence and belief in absolutely every aspect of my life. The stark realisation was I feel most content not being seen. On sitting down with Sarah, it wasn’t long before I cried (I cry a lot). I have always thought my sensitivity was a problem. I have been focused on my appearance, neglecting the obvious kind and neutering traits I possess in favour of the physical. Sarah let me be me, the me I have been forgetting. The process has made me work towards being unapologetic for my tears, for no longer being the size I was before my surgeries but most important for being me. I sat in the car after my photos and cried, I felt proud of not just my body but for me and my achievements. I am starting over in life and learning to mute the voices telling me I am not enough. I am more than enough and I’m ok being physically unseen because in my vocation I make a difference every day.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54cd254be4b03df1903d76c2/805d3d7e-b396-42b4-a231-8ecd6eb4d650/insta-70.jpg Come as You Are Project - Hannah-Rose “Come as you are, but who am I? I’m a full time mum and carer, what else? Since having a baby I lost myself completely, I fell into a baby bubble and just couldn’t climb my way back out. A lots change in the past two years, mainly my body and that I’ve really struggled with. The added weight has made me hate all pictures of myself so this ‘come as you are’ shoot was a scary thing to think about. I joined this project because I wanted to find myself, I wanted to see myself through the eye of someone else and regain that love and self confidence that I deserve to feel about myself. This was such an eye opening experience for me, no coaching or advise. Just me being me. I am so great full to Sarah for giving me this opportunity and showing me that even as ‘just me’ I can be beautiful and confident. Xx” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54cd254be4b03df1903d76c2/8f5ac2a4-3b78-4f39-b61a-8c84e9bb9f9b/insta-74.jpg Come as You Are Project - Jayne. “When I saw Sarah’s ‘come as you are’ project I jumped at the chance to be a part of it. I’ve been photographed by Sarah before many a times throughout some major times In my life but it’s also true to say I’ve also had some major changes in my life. The pain and loss of losing both my parents last year within 2 months of each other was not expected and I cannot describe how that feels. There are so many things I wish I had said and done for them that I will never get back. The only thing I am grateful for it has brought me and my sister closer together and I don’t tell her I love her as I should. Since then i have had to remove people from my life, not worry about what's been said and done and appreciate the people in my life that are there for me and who bring a lot in my life. I am often seen as being an iron fist in a velvet glove but inside I feel vulnerable, I am sensitive and I hurt easily. For as long as I can remember I have had diabetes and conditions that come with that, kidney disease, NLD, Retinopathy, underactive thyroid not to mention the emotional ups and downs. Some days I feel as though I am doing fine, I am strong and coping then follows the days I fall to pieces, cry, tired, emotional? Snappy, want to crawl back into bed and sleep. Is this the real me? On the day of the shoot me and Sarah spent time talking, being emotional and laughing, it helped us appreciate when help is needed, why we behave the way we do and that it's OK. Sarah has the natural ability to make you feel completely at ease, even when you’re feeling like you should hide away and not show the real you. I have a lot to thank Sarah for, she captured some of the most amazing photographs in my life, she brought life to my memories and she is an amazing person inside and out. I am grateful to have met Sarah ” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54cd254be4b03df1903d76c2/8fa964aa-efac-482b-a5e6-b16637dd3207/insta-79.jpg Come as You Are Project - Claire. “You get to a certain age and you begin to question who you are. I think I’ve always questioned that but when you’re younger you think you’ve got loads of time to figure it out and that the future will bring answers. You get to my age and realise there are no absolute answers. I looked at the images and the first thing I thought was that there is something both completely open and completely uncertain and guarded about this person – which is true. The last few years have been ones of massive change – ADHD diagnosis, marriage breakdown, becoming a single mum, depression, new jobs and of course a global pandemic. It has all added to my identity uncertainty and a reframing of who I thought I was in the past and for the future. But with all the uncertainty also comes the hope of being able to mould yourself anew going forward – with more self-care and compassion. I have been photographed by Sarah before but I loved this shoot with her, we laughed and put the world to rights and she gave me the time and space to just ‘be’. Plus as a photographer myself I don’t appear in many photo’s so this was a really unique opportunity to be myself, on the other side of the lens without any other real agenda.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54cd254be4b03df1903d76c2/8c5a5df5-bec0-4c48-8249-57d6c502c7bb/insta-91.jpg Come as You Are Project - Charlotte. “I was never a confident person, I was always led to believe that if only I were thinner more boys would like me, and life would be better. I’m here to tell you it’s bollocks. I lost a substantial amount of weight years ago and was still scrutinising parts of my body. That was not the problem, it was how I perceived myself, and allowing other peoples opinions to affect me. Being widowed just heightened this, a loss of identity and trying to navigate grief while being a mummy I just had no time for myself. I always thought My husband was out of my league, but I see now that there are no leagues. My husband saw something in me that no one else had, and maybe someone will again someday, but for now I see it in myself. If this resonates It’s down to you to change your mindset, surround yourself with likeminded people, unfollow or ignore anyone that makes you feel like you aren’t good enough, this is due to their own insecurities that they are projecting, do not let them. If you see beauty in others the same size as you or bigger, yet don’t see it in yourself? Your size isn’t the issue. Although I don’t love everything about my body I accept it for what it is and appreciate all it does for me. I listen to it, eat what it tells me it needs, I run, I box, I dance. I feel the sun on my skin, I breathe, and I am thankful to be here. And guess what, I’ve been losing weight this way, without even trying to. Be intuitive, no diets necessary. I still have my moments, but all in all I think I’m a pretty incredible person and I feel good. Just 6 months ago I was talking to Sarah about doing a shoot with her when I’ve lost more weight, she said to me that’s not what it’s about, the whole point is to accept yourself and see the beauty in that. I brushed it off at the time but I see it now. You are beautiful, come as you are.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54cd254be4b03df1903d76c2/6d4c3b9a-0c9b-4ce8-9a2c-ad6a01aebf2d/insta-97.jpg Come as You Are Project - Sarah. "Come as you are shoot" I’ve known Sarah for forever, we lost touch but I've never stopped admiring this girls strength and integrity. She is a talented, admirable woman who oozes empathy for others. When she asked for volunteers for her come as you are project i jumped at the chance, wine fuelled one evening at home i thought f*#k it. Then i remembered i am an anxiety ridden, ptsd suffering, depressed ocd maniac who doesn't actually know who i am anymore. I panicked, who actually am i?! Who was i before the last seven years of trauma, that just seemed to keep coming, wave after wave! Then to top it off i became a geriatric parent! After being a child parent 24 years ago! I have never taken the easy route, i feel as though i thrive on pressure, but i don’t, i have a fear of failure and its that failure that drives me. Its also that fear that crushes me. I failed my Mum, she did not survive, i failed parenting with my eldest, i put so much pressure on myself to achieve, that in actual fact i am failing myself. There are days i don’t want to move, days i cry, a lot of days i cry, there are times i can't physically talk. Anxiety is that debilitating. So again, who the hell am I! Anxiety has me lost in a world i don't understand. I feel like an imposter in every day situation, like I'm stood outside myself looking at a world i do not particularly like anymore. So i gathered some clothes, a gorgeous friend i do not deserve loaned me a dress to represent who i was before, and who i could be again if i just put myself first a bit more! I drove to Sarah’s studio and it was as though we hadn’t missed a day of not seeing each other and we talked, about EVERYTHING! I understood where she was coming from and she understood me. It was easy. The shoot took over an hour longer than expected because we just talked. We both listened! As strong, damaged, life experienced women we got each other, and that's what made the whole experience beautiful. The studio was cold, but my anxiety had me sweating we laughed a lot, we filled up with tears talking about the lives we have lead, but we also celebrated still bloody being here! So come as you are, and i did, i turned up, Sarah looked after me and we chatted over cuppa's. I arrived not knowing who i was. I left realising i am strong. I am delicate. I have not been nurturing myself enough! I need to treat myself as well as i do my houseplants if the environment isn't making me flourish then bloody change it! I am fun, i am funny, i care too much at times. My heart is big! This was more than a photo shoot. I've done therapy, I've seen counsellors, i take the tablets, but that was quite possibly the most supportive, enlightening session I've ever been to. Thank you Sarah https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54cd254be4b03df1903d76c2/f39a67c9-4ef7-408d-89d5-7db1f5a18aa9/insta-118.jpg Come as You Are Project - Julie. Like many of the other ladies photographed before me, I felt I’d reached a certain age where I was unsure of who I was anymore. My twin boys are now 14 and I’m no longer needed so much as ‘Mum’ (aside from when they’re hungry!) I’m also no longer the youngster I think I am in my head and dread feeling ‘past it’. I lost my mum whilst I was pregnant with the boys and she was only 56, so I have this constant fear of getting older and yet that’s the one thing my mum didn’t get chance to do! I also find it strange that one day I’ll (hopefully) be older than my mum… I still feel like the child who needs her mum but somehow life has moved so fast and I’m now dealing with being a 40-something woman. I don’t know when all that happened. These are the photographs of someone who suffers from anxiety and bouts of depression. However, through determination and the strength I get from others, it now sits in the background and I allow myself to spring to life as much as possible. I wanted to show the happy person, despite all that sits beneath the surface and raises its head occasionally. That person definitely came out whilst Sarah was photographing me - I was amazed just how much I do laugh & smile! Although Sarah is absolutely hilarious and a wonderful person so it was easy to do. Sarah has captured the smiley person I wish I could see more often. I hate most photos of myself - constantly complaining that I’ve put on some weight and it won’t shift, or that frown line between my eyes is getting deeper, or the dark circles under my eyes are hideous. Always comparing myself to what I see on Instagram, Facebook etc. On talking to Sarah I reminded myself that none of it matters. This is who I am and I should bloody well own it. I’d like to think I’m cool, but my teenage boys don’t think so. I hope one day they do though.

When Carla posted on Facebook to ask for volunteers for her friend, Sarah’s, project, I immediately thought ‘why not?’, I’m usually up for things like this… as was my lovely friend , also Sarah, so we thought we’d do it together. We met a couple of years ago and immediately bonded. Sarah is Scottish, she doesn’t mince her words and she says fuck a lot. I love that about her! You know where you are with her. We discovered that we’re ‘almost twins’ as our birthdays are a month apart and we have the same thoughts, often at the same time. We run together and have done a few races over the last couple of years, but here’s the thing - I don’t like running…. Yes! I’ve said it. I run so I can eat chocolate… and drink gin. And whilst Sarah does like to run and she doesn’t drink gin.. we both love chocolate! It’s a twin thing. And we both get naked (though not usually together). I’ve life modelled for around 15 years, Sarah is a naturist. Even though I’m mostly body confident, I still won’t look at any of the drawings of me, for fear of that ‘Lordy, is my tummy as big as that?’ kind of thoughts, although I’m at that age now where I really shouldn’t bother about it. And for the most part I don’t. The thing that does bother me though, is that when I run, once I get to the halfway point I think ‘phew, there’s less to go than I’ve done already’ and I embrace being on the home straight. It works for most things - except life. Being of a certain age, I also realised that I’ve probably got less to go than I’ve done already, and that scares me. I love my life and I don’t want it to end anytime soon (or even in 30 or 40 years..). So I need to pack in as much as I can in that time, which is why Sarah and I have #adventureswithginaandsarah.. they are only little adventures but they make me smile. Oh and for those of you wondering about the other pics.. my name is Gina and I’m a Disney addict. And I miss my happy place https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54cd254be4b03df1903d76c2/6c2c3468-ab7e-461b-9701-2d7439ffe62c/insta-104.jpg Come as You Are Project - Sarah. And as the grand finale to the Come as You Are project, is Sarah. This incredibly full of life human, in which we had this incredible conversation about naturism, how, for Sarah, it is a way to take a person for who they are. Not the status of their clothes, what they do or who they think they are… but simply as a human being. And so why Sarah’s image had to be the final image to The Come as You Are series. Let’s all be more like Sarah… let’s all forget about the person we should be and look, and even who others in our lives should be… and let’s just BE, and accept and love… Thank you Sarah for being a part of this… thank you for being yourself and brining this incredible energy to this project ❤️ https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54cd254be4b03df1903d76c2/14c5f7c3-31ec-4f4f-9ee7-16325305bfc8/insta-2.jpg Come as You Are Project - Nadia Come as You Are My beautiful friend…and the first to step in through the door and help me work out what Come as You Are is… And she came in with this incredible energy, she stepped into the masculine part of herself, and I apologised for not holding space for this before… you see, I have photographed Nadia a couple of times before… and always concentrated on the feminine. Thank you Nadia for teaching me to hold space… for eating cake with me… and showing up as your awesome self https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54cd254be4b03df1903d76c2/b749ae63-b9aa-47e1-90af-391fa185ba8a/insta-4.jpg Come as You Are Project - Sue. I have photographed Sue before as a Red Shoe Girl… and for her to come back and be a part of Come as You Are totally filled me with joy… This Sue, is content and knows who she is…I think she may forget this at times. And so, I hope that these images will remind her who she is and the love she gives to everyone around her… I’m sending some of that love back to you… https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54cd254be4b03df1903d76c2/b9d74358-0a6c-4cfc-a197-68819084e68e/insta-13.jpg Come as You Are Project - Laura. “I came to the shoot with one aim – to find myself. I went through a life changing event 6 years ago that changed everything about me. I went from being outgoing, confident, and unapologetically Laura to someone who hid herself from the world and wore a permanent mask. As the shoot progressed I felt like I was finding myself more and more and looking at the photos you can see the change in each outfit change. Thank you from the bottom of my heart Sarah for being my bad ass cheerleader.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54cd254be4b03df1903d76c2/2726b4b2-868e-48c6-8479-72749ed2c67f/insta-14.jpg Come as You Are Project - Lauren. A few weeks ago I went for a therapy session, I mean a photoshoot, with the beautiful soul that is Sarah to take part in her project "Come As You Are". And wow, how I struggled with such a simple request. Come as you are... OK, but who am I these days other than Mummy? I felt so confused. What do I wear? Do I put makeup on? What do I represent? WHO. AM. I?! Motherhood can often feel that you're so busy helping your little ones find their own identities, you lose a bit of yourself in the process. When the day of the photoshoot came, I had nothing at all creative to offer. After a brew and wonderful chat, Sarah asked for my thoughts and input, what did I want from this? I tried to fight through the brain fog, but I drew a complete blank. And she saw me. I was lost, but she saw exactly where I was. And she embraced it. She captured me perfectly in that moment. Thank you so much Sarah, for totally understanding something that can be so hard to explain in words.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54cd254be4b03df1903d76c2/8b3e6937-bdad-4810-ba20-89e1967eb9a2/insta-20.jpg Come as You Are Project - Hannah. “Sarah gave me the rarest and greatest of gifts in this shoot, the opportunity to be myself. As if my body language wasn’t enough of a giveaway, I admitted when I arrived that I was feeling pretty awkward, my natural default position in any social situation. Great! Said Sarah, be awkward, let’s do this! I had the most fun embracing the side of me I usually fight hardest to cover, and came away with a real sense of pride and joy in who I truly am. I am awkward and I’m ok with that!” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54cd254be4b03df1903d76c2/2c8225f1-d7f8-4374-aa22-9da091dbea00/insta-23.jpg Come as You Are Project - Fleur. “Come as you are’ she said…with the Nivarna lyrics ringing in my ears I pondered on this as a concept. I’ve been fortunate to experience Sarah’s powerful Red Shoe shoots twice before but without the hair, the make up and the direction who should I show up as? Then it dawned on me…my true self! What transpired was some beautiful raw shots of me, authentic and real. The wild child running free that lives inside of me, unafraid and unapologetic, stripped back, stripped bare, having fun, living wild and free with messy hair and dirty knees…and the woman she has become, the women who been through some shit but is brave enough to live with arms wide open, a full heart, with the wisdom of age and full of child like grace. I once said in a blog a shoot with Sarah is ‘Therapy in Motion.' I still hold that to be true..thank you Sarah for choosing to gift me with this opportunity, for letting the child inside have fun - here's to always living wild and free” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54cd254be4b03df1903d76c2/ee9123a6-5dd3-4f44-8c8e-5af993488cdb/insta-30.jpg Come as You Are Project - Emma. “When I saw Sarah's “Come as you are” project I jumped at the chance to be a part of it. I’ve been photographed by Sarah before but its safe to say I've had some major mental and physical changes since then and to say I'm a different person is an understatement. For as long as I can remember my head has travelled a million miles and hour, leaving me mentally and physically exhausted. My work, relationships and self esteem all suffered and I felt like I was just about “coping” with .life, rather than living. I turned to food for comfort and at 28 I was 7 stone overweight. By chance someone suggested I might have ADHD and one 3 hour psychiatrist appointment later, I'm told I've been living with ADHD for the last 29 years. ADHD is a bit of a taboo subject and until last year I thought it was just something “naughty boys” were labelled with. I now know it’s a lot more common than you think, but because it tends to present differently in females its extremely under of misdiagnosed. While many women feel embarrassed about their diagnosis, I felt relief; my life suddenly made sense. The diagnosis and the medication changed me, inside and out. I'm no longer a shell of a person hiding behind food and baggy clothes. On the day of the shoot me and Sarah spent more time talking and laughing than photographing, she has the natural ability to make you feel completely at ease, even when you're half naked. What Sarah captured shows new, much improved version of me, scars and all. While I'm not 100% used to version 2.0 just yet, I'm finally 100% happy in my own skin.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54cd254be4b03df1903d76c2/13fc1226-1c9c-426c-8f8a-05d8d8949c36/insta-39.jpg Come as You Are Project - Elizabeth. “I went into this feeling a bit awkward, embarrassed and lost. That’s how I feel right now, my chaotic brain has taken over all of me and I don’t feel like myself. I’m too emotional, too sensitive, too scatty, an overthinker, and that further spikes my anxiety and makes me feel like I’m difficult to be around However Sarah . . . . .what an amazing woman. She made me feel so heard and seen and safe. When she told me all she saw was how calm I was, I felt an emotional weight lift. I’ve never had anyone describe me as calm! Having that small feeling of some level of control just made me feel . . . . peaceful. And seeing the pictures, seeing me as ME made me realise I am still in there, content amidst all the chaos. Thank you so much Sarah” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54cd254be4b03df1903d76c2/a55d09ea-7503-4f8c-a63b-69a432529186/insta-46.jpg Come as You Are Project - Carly. “I almost cancelled my shoot, I was so excited by the idea of come as you are and jumped at the chance to get involved, but around the time of the shoot the complete overwhelm of adulting had eaten away at my confidence, and I wasn't sure I was right for it!

When I think back to all procedures I’ve been through over the last 6 years since finding out I am BRCA1 positive I feel grateful, grateful I am alive. But I am left with no breasts, no ovaries, no children and living through surgical menopause. How is that seen as womanly? I wanted to feel like I am still all woman and here is where my beautiful friend Sarah’s campaign ‘Come as YOU are’ comes in. The ethos behind it truck a fire in me and many other women. Sarah, you made me feel at ease from our first hug and I feel so blessed to be part of this wonderful campaign you have created.

In the words of Frida Kahlo, “We can endure much more than we think we can” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54cd254be4b03df1903d76c2/2f172206-0c7c-4234-ab24-9755234a4a7c/insta-58.jpg Come as You Are Project - Louise. “I've never felt able to 'come as you are' so Sarah's invitation to do so was refreshing and also unfamiliar. I've always been desperate for approval and acceptance. I've been anything but myself and tried to look and behave how others have expected me to. I never believed I could just be me and that that would be enough. I am starting to believe that now though. These photographs are part of my journey towards being unapologetically me. I feel like Sarah just gets me, so to be photographed by her for this project, was an extension of the space she already holds for me to be myself. I'm blessed to have had this opportunity, Sarah. Thank You for photographing me, for accepting me and for loving me. I promise to love myself.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54cd254be4b03df1903d76c2/62d0e515-c929-4232-90f2-ddd85577145a/insta-66.jpg Come as You Are Project - Emma. “I have been photographed by Sarah before, feeling glam and sexy and navigating a new me post mastectomy, reconstruction and a hysterectomy. So naturally I jumped at the chance to be a part of the come as you are project. The night before I nearly cancelled as I realised, I lack confidence and belief in absolutely every aspect of my life. The stark realisation was I feel most content not being seen. On sitting down with Sarah, it wasn’t long before I cried (I cry a lot). I have always thought my sensitivity was a problem. I have been focused on my appearance, neglecting the obvious kind and neutering traits I possess in favour of the physical. Sarah let me be me, the me I have been forgetting. The process has made me work towards being unapologetic for my tears, for no longer being the size I was before my surgeries but most important for being me. I sat in the car after my photos and cried, I felt proud of not just my body but for me and my achievements. I am starting over in life and learning to mute the voices telling me I am not enough. I am more than enough and I’m ok being physically unseen because in my vocation I make a difference every day.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54cd254be4b03df1903d76c2/805d3d7e-b396-42b4-a231-8ecd6eb4d650/insta-70.jpg Come as You Are Project - Hannah-Rose “Come as you are, but who am I? I’m a full time mum and carer, what else? Since having a baby I lost myself completely, I fell into a baby bubble and just couldn’t climb my way back out. A lots change in the past two years, mainly my body and that I’ve really struggled with. The added weight has made me hate all pictures of myself so this ‘come as you are’ shoot was a scary thing to think about. I joined this project because I wanted to find myself, I wanted to see myself through the eye of someone else and regain that love and self confidence that I deserve to feel about myself. This was such an eye opening experience for me, no coaching or advise. Just me being me. I am so great full to Sarah for giving me this opportunity and showing me that even as ‘just me’ I can be beautiful and confident. Xx” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54cd254be4b03df1903d76c2/8f5ac2a4-3b78-4f39-b61a-8c84e9bb9f9b/insta-74.jpg Come as You Are Project - Jayne. “When I saw Sarah’s ‘come as you are’ project I jumped at the chance to be a part of it. I’ve been photographed by Sarah before many a times throughout some major times In my life but it’s also true to say I’ve also had some major changes in my life. The pain and loss of losing both my parents last year within 2 months of each other was not expected and I cannot describe how that feels. There are so many things I wish I had said and done for them that I will never get back. The only thing I am grateful for it has brought me and my sister closer together and I don’t tell her I love her as I should. Since then i have had to remove people from my life, not worry about what's been said and done and appreciate the people in my life that are there for me and who bring a lot in my life. I am often seen as being an iron fist in a velvet glove but inside I feel vulnerable, I am sensitive and I hurt easily. For as long as I can remember I have had diabetes and conditions that come with that, kidney disease, NLD, Retinopathy, underactive thyroid not to mention the emotional ups and downs. Some days I feel as though I am doing fine, I am strong and coping then follows the days I fall to pieces, cry, tired, emotional? Snappy, want to crawl back into bed and sleep. Is this the real me? On the day of the shoot me and Sarah spent time talking, being emotional and laughing, it helped us appreciate when help is needed, why we behave the way we do and that it's OK. Sarah has the natural ability to make you feel completely at ease, even when you’re feeling like you should hide away and not show the real you. I have a lot to thank Sarah for, she captured some of the most amazing photographs in my life, she brought life to my memories and she is an amazing person inside and out. I am grateful to have met Sarah ” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54cd254be4b03df1903d76c2/8fa964aa-efac-482b-a5e6-b16637dd3207/insta-79.jpg Come as You Are Project - Claire. “You get to a certain age and you begin to question who you are. I think I’ve always questioned that but when you’re younger you think you’ve got loads of time to figure it out and that the future will bring answers. You get to my age and realise there are no absolute answers. I looked at the images and the first thing I thought was that there is something both completely open and completely uncertain and guarded about this person – which is true. The last few years have been ones of massive change – ADHD diagnosis, marriage breakdown, becoming a single mum, depression, new jobs and of course a global pandemic. It has all added to my identity uncertainty and a reframing of who I thought I was in the past and for the future. But with all the uncertainty also comes the hope of being able to mould yourself anew going forward – with more self-care and compassion. I have been photographed by Sarah before but I loved this shoot with her, we laughed and put the world to rights and she gave me the time and space to just ‘be’. Plus as a photographer myself I don’t appear in many photo’s so this was a really unique opportunity to be myself, on the other side of the lens without any other real agenda.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54cd254be4b03df1903d76c2/8c5a5df5-bec0-4c48-8249-57d6c502c7bb/insta-91.jpg Come as You Are Project - Charlotte. “I was never a confident person, I was always led to believe that if only I were thinner more boys would like me, and life would be better. I’m here to tell you it’s bollocks. I lost a substantial amount of weight years ago and was still scrutinising parts of my body. That was not the problem, it was how I perceived myself, and allowing other peoples opinions to affect me. Being widowed just heightened this, a loss of identity and trying to navigate grief while being a mummy I just had no time for myself. I always thought My husband was out of my league, but I see now that there are no leagues. My husband saw something in me that no one else had, and maybe someone will again someday, but for now I see it in myself. If this resonates It’s down to you to change your mindset, surround yourself with likeminded people, unfollow or ignore anyone that makes you feel like you aren’t good enough, this is due to their own insecurities that they are projecting, do not let them. If you see beauty in others the same size as you or bigger, yet don’t see it in yourself? Your size isn’t the issue. Although I don’t love everything about my body I accept it for what it is and appreciate all it does for me. I listen to it, eat what it tells me it needs, I run, I box, I dance. I feel the sun on my skin, I breathe, and I am thankful to be here. And guess what, I’ve been losing weight this way, without even trying to. Be intuitive, no diets necessary. I still have my moments, but all in all I think I’m a pretty incredible person and I feel good. Just 6 months ago I was talking to Sarah about doing a shoot with her when I’ve lost more weight, she said to me that’s not what it’s about, the whole point is to accept yourself and see the beauty in that. I brushed it off at the time but I see it now. You are beautiful, come as you are.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54cd254be4b03df1903d76c2/6d4c3b9a-0c9b-4ce8-9a2c-ad6a01aebf2d/insta-97.jpg Come as You Are Project - Sarah. "Come as you are shoot" I’ve known Sarah for forever, we lost touch but I've never stopped admiring this girls strength and integrity. She is a talented, admirable woman who oozes empathy for others. When she asked for volunteers for her come as you are project i jumped at the chance, wine fuelled one evening at home i thought f*#k it. Then i remembered i am an anxiety ridden, ptsd suffering, depressed ocd maniac who doesn't actually know who i am anymore. I panicked, who actually am i?! Who was i before the last seven years of trauma, that just seemed to keep coming, wave after wave! Then to top it off i became a geriatric parent! After being a child parent 24 years ago! I have never taken the easy route, i feel as though i thrive on pressure, but i don’t, i have a fear of failure and its that failure that drives me. Its also that fear that crushes me. I failed my Mum, she did not survive, i failed parenting with my eldest, i put so much pressure on myself to achieve, that in actual fact i am failing myself. There are days i don’t want to move, days i cry, a lot of days i cry, there are times i can't physically talk. Anxiety is that debilitating. So again, who the hell am I! Anxiety has me lost in a world i don't understand. I feel like an imposter in every day situation, like I'm stood outside myself looking at a world i do not particularly like anymore. So i gathered some clothes, a gorgeous friend i do not deserve loaned me a dress to represent who i was before, and who i could be again if i just put myself first a bit more! I drove to Sarah’s studio and it was as though we hadn’t missed a day of not seeing each other and we talked, about EVERYTHING! I understood where she was coming from and she understood me. It was easy. The shoot took over an hour longer than expected because we just talked. We both listened! As strong, damaged, life experienced women we got each other, and that's what made the whole experience beautiful. The studio was cold, but my anxiety had me sweating we laughed a lot, we filled up with tears talking about the lives we have lead, but we also celebrated still bloody being here! So come as you are, and i did, i turned up, Sarah looked after me and we chatted over cuppa's. I arrived not knowing who i was. I left realising i am strong. I am delicate. I have not been nurturing myself enough! I need to treat myself as well as i do my houseplants if the environment isn't making me flourish then bloody change it! I am fun, i am funny, i care too much at times. My heart is big! This was more than a photo shoot. I've done therapy, I've seen counsellors, i take the tablets, but that was quite possibly the most supportive, enlightening session I've ever been to. Thank you Sarah https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54cd254be4b03df1903d76c2/f39a67c9-4ef7-408d-89d5-7db1f5a18aa9/insta-118.jpg Come as You Are Project - Julie. Like many of the other ladies photographed before me, I felt I’d reached a certain age where I was unsure of who I was anymore. My twin boys are now 14 and I’m no longer needed so much as ‘Mum’ (aside from when they’re hungry!) I’m also no longer the youngster I think I am in my head and dread feeling ‘past it’. I lost my mum whilst I was pregnant with the boys and she was only 56, so I have this constant fear of getting older and yet that’s the one thing my mum didn’t get chance to do! I also find it strange that one day I’ll (hopefully) be older than my mum… I still feel like the child who needs her mum but somehow life has moved so fast and I’m now dealing with being a 40-something woman. I don’t know when all that happened. These are the photographs of someone who suffers from anxiety and bouts of depression. However, through determination and the strength I get from others, it now sits in the background and I allow myself to spring to life as much as possible. I wanted to show the happy person, despite all that sits beneath the surface and raises its head occasionally. That person definitely came out whilst Sarah was photographing me - I was amazed just how much I do laugh & smile! Although Sarah is absolutely hilarious and a wonderful person so it was easy to do. Sarah has captured the smiley person I wish I could see more often. I hate most photos of myself - constantly complaining that I’ve put on some weight and it won’t shift, or that frown line between my eyes is getting deeper, or the dark circles under my eyes are hideous. Always comparing myself to what I see on Instagram, Facebook etc. On talking to Sarah I reminded myself that none of it matters. This is who I am and I should bloody well own it. I’d like to think I’m cool, but my teenage boys don’t think so. I hope one day they do though.

When Carla posted on Facebook to ask for volunteers for her friend, Sarah’s, project, I immediately thought ‘why not?’, I’m usually up for things like this… as was my lovely friend , also Sarah, so we thought we’d do it together. We met a couple of years ago and immediately bonded. Sarah is Scottish, she doesn’t mince her words and she says fuck a lot. I love that about her! You know where you are with her. We discovered that we’re ‘almost twins’ as our birthdays are a month apart and we have the same thoughts, often at the same time. We run together and have done a few races over the last couple of years, but here’s the thing - I don’t like running…. Yes! I’ve said it. I run so I can eat chocolate… and drink gin. And whilst Sarah does like to run and she doesn’t drink gin.. we both love chocolate! It’s a twin thing. And we both get naked (though not usually together). I’ve life modelled for around 15 years, Sarah is a naturist. Even though I’m mostly body confident, I still won’t look at any of the drawings of me, for fear of that ‘Lordy, is my tummy as big as that?’ kind of thoughts, although I’m at that age now where I really shouldn’t bother about it. And for the most part I don’t. The thing that does bother me though, is that when I run, once I get to the halfway point I think ‘phew, there’s less to go than I’ve done already’ and I embrace being on the home straight. It works for most things - except life. Being of a certain age, I also realised that I’ve probably got less to go than I’ve done already, and that scares me. I love my life and I don’t want it to end anytime soon (or even in 30 or 40 years..). So I need to pack in as much as I can in that time, which is why Sarah and I have #adventureswithginaandsarah.. they are only little adventures but they make me smile. Oh and for those of you wondering about the other pics.. my name is Gina and I’m a Disney addict. And I miss my happy place https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54cd254be4b03df1903d76c2/6c2c3468-ab7e-461b-9701-2d7439ffe62c/insta-104.jpg Come as You Are Project - Sarah. And as the grand finale to the Come as You Are project, is Sarah. This incredibly full of life human, in which we had this incredible conversation about naturism, how, for Sarah, it is a way to take a person for who they are. Not the status of their clothes, what they do or who they think they are… but simply as a human being. And so why Sarah’s image had to be the final image to The Come as You Are series. Let’s all be more like Sarah… let’s all forget about the person we should be and look, and even who others in our lives should be… and let’s just BE, and accept and love… Thank you Sarah for being a part of this… thank you for being yourself and brining this incredible energy to this project ❤️ https://www.redshoemakeovers.com/masculinity daily 0.75 2026-03-27 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54cd254be4b03df1903d76c2/38ca98b5-3ac6-4ca7-b285-33d39d51c0b3/Photo+18-12-2021%2C+15+49+21.jpg Masculinity Project https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54cd254be4b03df1903d76c2/9603b273-0693-4801-91df-6e5a2e079dc9/insta-2.jpg Masculinity Project - Come As You Are. The first step in creating a participatory design process was to begin with what I know. Red Shoe’s design process is to create an experience to sell a product, and although the experience has been enjoyed by hundreds of woman since 2013, this method is not designed for participatory within portraiture. I created a post within the Red Shoe business social platforms introducing the project idea to photograph the woman just as she is, with no styling, pose direction or airbrush editing. I underestimated the number of women that wanted to participate, and between October and December of 2021, 20 women were photographed (fig. 9). I looked at the current Red Shoe design process and began to unpick the stages from the product to build the participatory (fig. 10). By replacing stages such as hair and makeup, to an hour of conversation with tea and coffee, and using agreed key words from our conversation as the thoughts and feelings for the portraits. This taxology included words such as awkward, lost, powerful, sexual, achievement and flaws.

This question created the beginnings of participation through conversation.

The unpicking of process led me to question if the Red Shoe current ethos and branding of female centric portrait photography hindered the possibility of this project of masculinity. I tested this idea by posting upon my personal FaceBook page (fig.15), which is based upon friendship and not upon product or profession, I have over 1200 friends and estimate 50% are male. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54cd254be4b03df1903d76c2/6fb9dcfc-22f6-4aed-b8b7-c29a5f1389ec/Photo+05-01-2022%2C+20+45+20.jpg Masculinity Project This post had far less engagement than my usual posts, and for the first three hours there was zero engagement. It took only one person (fig.16) to comment and participate with an image and text before others began joining in. I concluded within this investigation that potential participants may engage more freely when presented with a final artifact, and as such, to see what it is that they are participating in. The problem now presented is, that an artifact is needed for engagement, and without engagement there is not an artifact.

Following on from the conclusion that artefacts are needed, a post was created on Red Shoe Instagram stories (fig. 17). Because this shoot is designed to explore and to create artefacts for engagement, and not to deliver personal results for the participant, a certain skill level from the participant was needed in form of expression and engagement with the idea. However, once more, this resulted in less then usual in terms of engagement with just one response (fig.19). The person’s direct message was one of not speaking too kindly about themselves, and my duty of care is to this person, as this photo shoot was to explore and is not results driven, I suggested that currently they were not suitable for this shoot and invited them in taking part in the main project once the design process is established. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54cd254be4b03df1903d76c2/8e078a2f-e587-40a7-9779-b7c05e4c7f92/page0.JPG Masculinity Project A second attempt was much more direct in narrative (fig.18), to include an image and delivered to a friend who provides acting classes. As well as delivering this straight to my friend as a message I again delivered this to the Instagram stories. From this six people contacted interested in arranging shoots. Five actors, and one a photographer friend who had seen this message repeated upon Red Shoes Instagram stories. From the six people I was able to arrange four to be photographed, with the other two, studio times and dates clashed.

When I found out the topic of the project, I was keen to participate due to my own personal experiences as a teenager attending an all boys school, constantly in all male environments through sport (football) and having predominantly male friends. Over recent years I’ve started to become more aware of my own mannerisms in how I express and conduct myself with the help of exploring new ventures (acting) and trying to determine where and when old habits serve little purpose or when they can be beneficial if utilised consciously. It’s becoming more apparent to me of how unconscious fears, insecurities and conditioning determine how I behave in various social situations, presenting myself in a way that brings a false sense of security without realising and convincing myself that certain body language is fitting for particular moments. It’s been so easy to fall in to the trap of certain stereotype(s) to provide myself with additional comfort although it’s also refreshing to examine how ones own masculinity can be harnessed in a positive way under the right circumstances and in certain environments. It was a pleasure to work with Sarah who was very welcoming and made the whole experience thoroughly enjoyable. I came away from the day with more of an insight into myself, my past experiences and how my own personal masculinity/femininity can be expressed in future more authentically and consciously online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54cd254be4b03df1903d76c2/1644585164587-QMB5U23CKRYDZU87I7J1/Photo+15-01-2022%2C+14+03+04.jpg Masculinity Project - Martin Masculinity test shoot 2 “Masculinity for me has always had negative connotations, the image of an “Alpha male” is not something to aspire to. I've never felt I've really fitted in with the masculine stereotype. I’m not physically strong and I don’t feel I have that drive to constantly be better than everyone else that some men seem to have. I am an only child so I've never needed that sense of competition, I’ve never had to fight for attention. Through my teenage years the men I admired, people like Bowie, or Kurt Cobain, always had a sense of androgyny, a campness about them, they were individuals you couldn’t pin down, and that was far more alluring than whatever mainstream fashion was for boys/men in the 90s. We tried to avoid the “Go out, get pissed, pull a bird, if you don’t pull, start a fight” mindset so much, that when we fancied going clubbing, other than a rock club, we used to go to gay clubs, the atmosphere was so much more friendly and less aggressive. I think its this pretence that men have to be manly, whatever that means, and any typically feminine qualities are signs of weakness. I also noticed it again when I moved to Cheshire from London, the men I was meeting through work in these little Cheshire villages just seemed so….up tight, and unable to express any emotion other than larger and football. I am now a father and I think it’s this confidence to stand out, and stand up for what you believe in, that is the most important thing I’ve taught my son about being a man. You don’t have to follow the crowd, it’s OK to be different and think for yourself. To stand up for injustices and be brave enough to call out your friends if you have to. So far, I think I’m doing an OK job, and my sons moral compass seems to be pointing in the right direction, and by me trying to teach him to be a good person, he is also making me a better person too. I think a positive role model for masculinity would be George Bailey, the character played by James Stewart in ‘It’s a Wonderful Life’, a film made over 75 years ago and the themes are still so relevant today.

Come As You Are. The first step in creating a participatory design process was to begin with what I know. Red Shoe’s design process is to create an experience to sell a product, and although the experience has been enjoyed by hundreds of woman since 2013, this method is not designed for participatory within portraiture. I created a post within the Red Shoe business social platforms introducing the project idea to photograph the woman just as she is, with no styling, pose direction or airbrush editing. I underestimated the number of women that wanted to participate, and between October and December of 2021, 20 women were photographed (fig. 9). I looked at the current Red Shoe design process and began to unpick the stages from the product to build the participatory (fig. 10). By replacing stages such as hair and makeup, to an hour of conversation with tea and coffee, and using agreed key words from our conversation as the thoughts and feelings for the portraits. This taxology included words such as awkward, lost, powerful, sexual, achievement and flaws.

This question created the beginnings of participation through conversation.

The unpicking of process led me to question if the Red Shoe current ethos and branding of female centric portrait photography hindered the possibility of this project of masculinity. I tested this idea by posting upon my personal FaceBook page (fig.15), which is based upon friendship and not upon product or profession, I have over 1200 friends and estimate 50% are male. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54cd254be4b03df1903d76c2/6fb9dcfc-22f6-4aed-b8b7-c29a5f1389ec/Photo+05-01-2022%2C+20+45+20.jpg Masculinity Project This post had far less engagement than my usual posts, and for the first three hours there was zero engagement. It took only one person (fig.16) to comment and participate with an image and text before others began joining in. I concluded within this investigation that potential participants may engage more freely when presented with a final artifact, and as such, to see what it is that they are participating in. The problem now presented is, that an artifact is needed for engagement, and without engagement there is not an artifact.

Following on from the conclusion that artefacts are needed, a post was created on Red Shoe Instagram stories (fig. 17). Because this shoot is designed to explore and to create artefacts for engagement, and not to deliver personal results for the participant, a certain skill level from the participant was needed in form of expression and engagement with the idea. However, once more, this resulted in less then usual in terms of engagement with just one response (fig.19). The person’s direct message was one of not speaking too kindly about themselves, and my duty of care is to this person, as this photo shoot was to explore and is not results driven, I suggested that currently they were not suitable for this shoot and invited them in taking part in the main project once the design process is established. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54cd254be4b03df1903d76c2/8e078a2f-e587-40a7-9779-b7c05e4c7f92/page0.JPG Masculinity Project A second attempt was much more direct in narrative (fig.18), to include an image and delivered to a friend who provides acting classes. As well as delivering this straight to my friend as a message I again delivered this to the Instagram stories. From this six people contacted interested in arranging shoots. Five actors, and one a photographer friend who had seen this message repeated upon Red Shoes Instagram stories. From the six people I was able to arrange four to be photographed, with the other two, studio times and dates clashed.

When I found out the topic of the project, I was keen to participate due to my own personal experiences as a teenager attending an all boys school, constantly in all male environments through sport (football) and having predominantly male friends. Over recent years I’ve started to become more aware of my own mannerisms in how I express and conduct myself with the help of exploring new ventures (acting) and trying to determine where and when old habits serve little purpose or when they can be beneficial if utilised consciously. It’s becoming more apparent to me of how unconscious fears, insecurities and conditioning determine how I behave in various social situations, presenting myself in a way that brings a false sense of security without realising and convincing myself that certain body language is fitting for particular moments. It’s been so easy to fall in to the trap of certain stereotype(s) to provide myself with additional comfort although it’s also refreshing to examine how ones own masculinity can be harnessed in a positive way under the right circumstances and in certain environments. It was a pleasure to work with Sarah who was very welcoming and made the whole experience thoroughly enjoyable. I came away from the day with more of an insight into myself, my past experiences and how my own personal masculinity/femininity can be expressed in future more authentically and consciously online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54cd254be4b03df1903d76c2/1644585164587-QMB5U23CKRYDZU87I7J1/Photo+15-01-2022%2C+14+03+04.jpg Masculinity Project - Martin Masculinity test shoot 2 “Masculinity for me has always had negative connotations, the image of an “Alpha male” is not something to aspire to. I've never felt I've really fitted in with the masculine stereotype. I’m not physically strong and I don’t feel I have that drive to constantly be better than everyone else that some men seem to have. I am an only child so I've never needed that sense of competition, I’ve never had to fight for attention. Through my teenage years the men I admired, people like Bowie, or Kurt Cobain, always had a sense of androgyny, a campness about them, they were individuals you couldn’t pin down, and that was far more alluring than whatever mainstream fashion was for boys/men in the 90s. We tried to avoid the “Go out, get pissed, pull a bird, if you don’t pull, start a fight” mindset so much, that when we fancied going clubbing, other than a rock club, we used to go to gay clubs, the atmosphere was so much more friendly and less aggressive. I think its this pretence that men have to be manly, whatever that means, and any typically feminine qualities are signs of weakness. I also noticed it again when I moved to Cheshire from London, the men I was meeting through work in these little Cheshire villages just seemed so….up tight, and unable to express any emotion other than larger and football. I am now a father and I think it’s this confidence to stand out, and stand up for what you believe in, that is the most important thing I’ve taught my son about being a man. You don’t have to follow the crowd, it’s OK to be different and think for yourself. To stand up for injustices and be brave enough to call out your friends if you have to. So far, I think I’m doing an OK job, and my sons moral compass seems to be pointing in the right direction, and by me trying to teach him to be a good person, he is also making me a better person too. I think a positive role model for masculinity would be George Bailey, the character played by James Stewart in ‘It’s a Wonderful Life’, a film made over 75 years ago and the themes are still so relevant today. A tale of a man just doing what needs to be done, and enriching the lives of everyone around him ”tell your story online can make all the difference” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54cd254be4b03df1903d76c2/1644585107981-SSZH0MWV28G09S19J1Q1/Photo+19-01-2022%2C+12+06+20.jpg Masculinity Project - Jay. Masculinity test shoot 3 “Growing up as a male, masculinity is something that gets passed around a lot “to be masculine” “be the Alpha male in the room”, the thing some of us never get taught is we have masculine& feminine traits working through us at different times, an if we’re unconscious of them behaviours they can become very problematic in our lives” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54cd254be4b03df1903d76c2/1644585318707-SUNRHV9SASBO9A11HIRW/Photo+19-01-2022%2C+13+12+08.jpg Masculinity Project - Francis. Masculinity test shoot 4 “I’ve always hated the word masculinity or a strong male … what does that mean in todays society ? I’ve always preferred the company of women to men. I’ve always been a dandy rather than a dictator Being the son of a football coach I’ve always battled against the idea of being ‘ a strong male ‘ I can lead without being a leader and I can be the strong with being quiet.
