Testimonials

I’m not normally comfortable having my picture taken but I really enjoyed stepping outside my comfort zone. I was pretty open and willing to go with the flow of the day and it worked out well. I still can’t believe it’s me in the pictures! Whenever I look at my portraits, I feel a real sense of joy and pride. I remember the emotions of the day with a sense of freedom.

Michelle – Age 44

I rediscovered my femininity and I feel more comfortable with my body now. Samjhana has got a great eye and insight to reveal the goddess within. Everything was well organised and because Samjhana is trusting life, we even had little extras during the photo session that were very welcome… even the rain went away!

Roxane – Age 26

As a result of my session with Samjhana, I am starting to realise a side of me that I never thought I would acknowledge. Friends have commented on how buoyant and radiant I have been since the session even though I had not told them of my Goddess Portraiture experience. I have learned to accept that being a woman does not mean being abused and violated but to be appreciated and adored.

Hettie – Age 30

For years I have lived quietly with my eating disorder. Samjhana reminded me what’s it’s like to be back in the real world. My session with Samjhana was much more than a photo-shoot – it was a therapeutic experience, truly uplifting and confidence boosting! I feel like I’ve jumped a couple of stepping stones towards my long path to recovery from my eating disorder. The confidence this project has given me made it possible for me to begin socialising again. I went out with the girls for the first time in 15 years to celebrate my birthday recently. Thank you Samjhana, you’re a life saver!

Julie – Age 45

Being naked is both about being vulnerable and strong, and in fact these two words are not mutually exclusive but rather synonymous with each other. This experience reminded me that being vulnerable is not a weakness but rather a strength. If more people were honest with their feelings of vulnerability and happy to show the soft and gentle side of their character, then perhaps the world would be a better place.
