F/stop Project

F/stop Project ...more than one definition of Beauty. We take pictures, and share them…it’s really that simple. We partner with organizations that encourage and empower!

Our contribution is organizing and implementing photo shoots we call f/stop projects - where we create and share beautiful images. Each participant in an f/stop Project receives a free portrait. During f/stop projects, participants have their picture taken and share stories about themselves and how they define beauty and confidence. We combine these words and images to create art that educates, encourages, uplifts and inspires by revealing that there is more than one definition of beauty.

Above are some pictures from our photoshoot with Kate. We had a great time shooting on what turned out to be a very windy day! Despite the blustery weather, Kate was amazing! Here's what she had to say about confidence: "Being confident not only means believing in yourself but also knowing when you get shut down, rejected, or denied to keep your head up and keep pushing no matter what. To be confident you have to believe in yourself and what you can do, even if no one else does."
We couldn't agree more, thank you Kate!

Excerpt: “I always wanted to be perfect all the time. Always doing everything right, having straight A's, always being motivated to do everything and please everyone around me but I came to realize that it’s impractical. As soon as I noticed my grades dropping tremendously and finding myself in an infinite loop of not having the motivation to do anything and developing unfamiliar unhealthy habits, I realized that everything about me had changed. It was incredibly challenging not to be hard on myself and I was so confused wondering why I couldn’t just be “normal” again like I was before and why I had changed. But towards the end of high school I have come to the realization that I am AMAZING and I am STRONG. Yes, I did need help remembering who I was and I needed people to be that rope to help me out of the hole that I was stuck in, but I did it and I overcame that huge obstacle in my life. I realized that I am such a huge inspiration to myself and others, even when I didn’t have the slightest bit of hope. I implemented a Mental Health Club at the College of Southern Nevada High School because I wanted to help others who are struggling mentally and need an outlet from their own situation. Based on this journey, I like to symbolize myself as a glow stick. To make a glow stick glow you have to crack it multiple times. Every obstacle in my journey and rough patch represents when you crack a glow stick. The glow stick glowing represents the impact I’m able to make on others through my experiences. I am my own muse because I changed the focus from ‘Why would this happen to me?’ to ‘How can this make me a better person?’” - Breanna

“Although I don't fit the typical beauty standard, I am still beautiful. My nose is crooked, but it's still pretty. I have many different scars, however they represent what I've gone through, and I think that's beautiful. I enjoy the way I express myself, and don't allow others to tell me otherwise. I try my best to be kind to others and I do what I can to brighten up other people's day. I've gone through a lot in my life, but I never let it stop me from being who I am unconditionally. No matter how hard I've fallen, I've always gotten back up. Because of that, I am my own muse.” - Nick

03/10/2022

“I am my own muse because of the determination I have shown. I always struggled with mental health issues, but my freshman year of high school was when things became incredibly difficult. I was struggling balancing everything in my life and I became overwhelmed. I ended up becoming very depressed. I stopped taking the time to really care for myself. I would be incredibly negative and rude to myself whenever I looked in the mirror. At that time I was under the impression that true beauty was on the outside, and I just didn't see myself as beautiful. Over time, I got things back on track. I went to therapy and with the help of friends and family, I was able to overcome this. It took years to be able to look myself in the mirror every day and say I'm beautiful. During the most difficult time of my life, I didn't give up. I pushed myself each day to become the best I could be. I am my own muse because I have never given up, I have always pressed forward and it has made me the person that I am.” - Brooke

Excerpt: “I can sit here and pretend that I am perfect and that my life is perfect but the reality is that it isn't. I am my own muse because everyday I wake up in a closet and try to make my life a little better. I am my own muse because after everything I am still trying each and every day to be a better person. I am my own muse because I am so very proud of myself because I could have just as easily given myself an out because life was hard but I don't want that. I want to be better. I want to get an education which is why I worked so hard to even get into my current school, Nevada State High School. Because I knew then I wanted to do better, to insight change. I want to show people who look like me who come from the Hispanic community that it is possible to get an education and strive for better than the cards life has handed us. I am my own muse because I am wonderfully me.” - Sierra

“I appreciate my uniqueness. As much as it is important to be there for others, it is equally important to be there for yourself and tell yourself it is okay to be any type of person you want to be. I am going through the healing journey of putting myself first and telling myself I am beautiful in my own way. Sunsets and flowers are both uniquely different, but both remain beautiful in their own ways. Being different is not bad in fact it makes you unique.” - Ellie

“There are countless flaws, stretch marks, touches on my skin filled with memories, scattered mind, eyes that gleam with happiness and at times sadness, laughter that radiates the place, quietness that stills others. It’s those perfections accompanied by imperfections that make me realize that I am an art piece myself. A muse that consistently paints on the muse adds more character, story, depth. No one else is to remind me to push myself and seek life within life. Only I can do that, and that’s what makes me my own muse.” - Kimberly

03/09/2022

Excerpt: “I’ve always been far too harsh on myself, especially in the beauty department; growing up and being a plus size person is extremely difficult. The lack of positive media representation paired with the side eyes and glares from the general public made me my own worst enemy and my own bully. I seemed to have love and acceptance for everyone but myself.

FINALLY in the beginning of this year, my senior year, it finally clicked. I couldn’t believe that I had bashed myself for being overweight, and decided that somehow overlooked everything else about me; my humor, my nose, my smile, or any of the other good things about me. I am my own muse because I accepted myself for who I am and what I look like; and decided that something that everyone perceived as a bad thing or something ugly, is something beautiful and something to love.” - Raechel

“I am relentless. Despite the chronic illness that plagued my childhood and kept me out of school for months at a time, I made it to where I am now in Nevada State High School, maintaining straight A's. I am creative. My mind is a kaleidoscopic fantasy world with a plethora of stories waiting to be shared, one of which I got to publish at age 15. I am compassionate. Despite living in a world of people I can't always understand, my love and appreciation for each one of them is unending, and I'll forever go out of my way to make sure everyone feels included and cared for. I am beautiful. Inside and out. I love everyone and everything into forever, despite at times even my own attempts to stop. I'm my own muse because I always have been and will always deserve to be.” - Abeo
