I used to say that I didn’t like having my photograph taken. 

Not wanting to be in front of the lens is quite a lonely state nowadays because it seems that the world wants nothing more than for us to be photographed, everyday, at all times.

As a new media consumer, whether we talk about videos, podcasts, or social let’s say, I came to realise that the more someone revealed about themselves, the more likely I was to relate to them and develop a sense of connection to them. 

There is value in showing ourselves to others. How else are people meant to get to know us? 

I consider what I disliked about facing the camera—and how I overcame that resistance - in this post.
