In Love Thy Self(ie), body image educator and self-portrait artist Teri Hofford guides photographers through the powerful process of using self-portraiture as a tool for self-awareness, emotional exploration, and visual storytelling. This immersive course dives into both the technical and emotional sides of creating self-portraits—from lighting and composition to emotional data collection and editing for feeling. With videos, guided questions, and three unique approaches to self-portrait creation (traditional, hybrid, and collage), this course will help you reconnect with your body, confront your fears, and fall back in love with your creative voice.
We took this inspiring workshop created by Teri Hofford and pulled out {some of} the meat and potatoes to give you a glimpse into how her brain works for this course. This topic is too important not to share.
