In continuation of my previous blog post, I had the opportunity to participate in the second shoot for Amy Miles' empowering Menstruation campaign. This particular shoot delved into the topic of menstrual pain and its associated symptoms. The concept involved me expressing how my periods make me feel powerless and affect my back the most.

To bring this idea to life, Amy positioned me on grass steps, lying backwards to expose my entire body weight on my back. Wearing a full nude outfit, the shoot captured my body in its entirety, creating a powerful representation of the struggles of menstruation.

This shoot held a special significance for me as it was featured in a photography gallery exhibition, showcasing the campaign to a wider audience. Witnessing my participation in the exhibition was a surreal experience, and I couldn't be prouder of Amy Miles for her remarkable work on this project.
