I Deal With Social Anxiety Creating Surreal Self-Portraits
My name is Monica Lazăr, I live in Bucharest, Romania, and I discovered my passion for photography four years ago. From the beginning, photography was like the air so much-needed in those moments I felt like drowning. My social anxiety and the permanent lack of confidence made me an isolated person. I love spending time with other people, but this seems terribly hard for me, so I found another way to speak to them. Self-portraiture helped me to show others what is happening in my mind. More than this, the images that I create brought into my life my soul-mate. Now, we are a team. He helps me to take my shots, I then create the story in Photoshop. Every image is an emotion I experienced, a wish, or a fear I’m dealing with. Self-portraits became that other dimension I can live in, and I’m grateful for this.

Hi Monica, I recently came across one of your stunning self-portraits and found it truly inspiring. I would love to use one of your photos as part of a creative project I'm working on (non-commercial / or for a book cover / or specify your case). I’d like to ask if you would be open to giving me permission to use it, and under what terms. I will fully credit you, of course. Please let me know if this would be possible. Thank you for your time and for sharing your beautiful art with the world. Warm regards,
