Introducing the latest addition to the ongoing series for @caringmattersnow exhibition How Do You C Me Now? The superb @____chezza____ not only a fellow Midlander, teeth so white they literally glowed. Cheryl becomes the 31st portrait for the CMN awareness series and what a day we had. When Cheryl arrived I was informed that she was petrified of dogs, whatever the size or breed, which meant Ernie initially had to be put in his crate to keep our subject feeling calm and ready for their shoot. This image was proudly featured recently @britishdermatology annual conference in Glasgow with 1200+ dermatologists in attendance, followed by @nevusoutreach in the U.S. with their virtual exhibition. During our session I tried to explain that Ernie the Whippet wouldn’t attack Cheryl, he was excitable and friendly but early on Cheryl couldn’t even entertain the idea of being in the same room as a dog... I would suggest you swipe left to see real progress in overcoming a lifelong fear. Embrace who you are, try to be comfortable in yourself and with our furry friends... This was a great afternoon, full of laughs, coffee and pizza. #love #laugh #bodypositive #howdoyoucmenow? #beautiful #birthmark #photography #mrelbank #cmn #beauty #portrait #london #BeKind #TheBrockElbankFoundation #ErnieElbank #pup #whippet #bodypositivity #mentalhealthawareness @hasselblad @profoto @nathalie.bond
