Perfectly Imperfect: Portraits, Coffee & Self-Kindness (MMMH)

Mindfully capture your "honest portrait" in Cardiff Bay using natural light and your smartphone. No filters, just genuine you over coffee.
About this Event

Join us for a warm and welcoming afternoon at Cardiff Bay.

Amidst the smell of roasted coffee and the hum of conversation, we will explore the art of the "honest portrait."

In a world of filters and editing apps, we often forget what real beauty looks like.

Perfection is a limiting belief that keeps us hiding until we feel "ready," causing us to miss out on appreciating the unique, wonderful person we are right here, today.

In this relaxed session, we will:

  • Find the Light: Learn how to use the soft, natural window light of the café to take flattering, atmospheric portraits of yourself or a partner.
  • Reframe the Narrative: Practice letting go of "bad angles" and self-criticism, focusing instead on capturing genuine expressions and character.
  • Connect: Enjoy a hot drink and meaningful conversation about how we see ourselves versus how the world sees us.

What to bring: Your smartphone and money for your favourite coffee or cake.

Perfect for: Anyone who usually shy away from the camera or wants to heal their relationship with their own image in a safe, supportive environment.
