She uses photography as a tool of self discovery, communicating powerful stories through her lens," observes My Modern Met.

Showing the world what an alternate form of 'selfie,' Lulu Lovering is able to overcome her self-consciousness to the benefit of herself and others. The Vermont-based photographer shares, "It helped me so greatly to better understand both myself, and the way that I belong to other people and the world at large. It helped me immensely to shed my fear of sharing my experiences and how they've shaped me into the person I am today."
