Sharon Smith / Hippy & Bloom Headshots

Dublin, Ireland

Associate Member of Headshots Matter


 

Anyone can photograph a person, get the light right, focus and press the shutter. But to me, it's so much more than that. Authenticity comes into everything I do, driving me forward to meet people ‘where they are now' and to create beautiful, genuine portraits celebrating them and their journey.

I even enjoy photographing people who believe they are not photogenic. After all, most people say they don't like having their photograph taken. It may stem from low self-esteem, body-image struggles, or needing a greater positive sense of self. I can see the healing from having a photo session where YOU are the subject and the part it can play in helping you on your journey of self-acceptance and celebrating who you are.

Seeing yourself made into a work of art can transform how you view yourself. Seeing yourself through someone else's eyes will help to hush the inner critic. I aim to capture the beautiful, authentic you and make you feel comfortable with the process.  I love what I do because not only do I get to have my dream job, but I also get to look after the people who come in front of my camera.

If you're an actor, a businessperson or someone transitioning to a new job or role in an organization - I'd love the opportunity to capture your authentic self for your new headshot!
