Let Me Take A Selfie

After seeing an inspirational video this week, I was motivated to take a step back and look at what I want my next steps to be for my online presence. Between the blog posts I have written here and my vlogs, the past few months have been the most I have ever put a face to my brand, and to be honest I love the feeling of being out there.

I know that my goal for the next year is to establish myself as a content creator, and to do that I need my brand to not just be the photos I take, but an expression of myself as a person, as a human being. It’s only natural then that when I look at what my Instagram feed is missing, the only thing I could really think of was… me?

I decided to change that this week; if my goal is to be a content creator it’s about time I got off my ass and created some content. One of the key take aways from the aforementioned video was the quote “don’t make content for the sake of making content”. With this in mind I decided to set out and start the process of taking my brand where I want it to go. So I decided to take some selfies.

I didn’t want to just take any self-portraits, I wanted it to be cohesive with the rest of my feed; so I headed to the nearest wanna-be city of Reston Town Center and got to work!
