One is an image consultant, the other is a photographer. Pascale Poujols, professional photographer at Studio l’Instant P, and Samira, image consultant at Atelier de Sam, offer to reconnect with their self-esteem through photography. A concept that combines introspection, creativity and well-beingunique to Aurillac.
Reconnect with yourself through images
What if photography became a tool to reclaim one’s image and its self-confidence ? This is Pascale and Samira’s daring bet. By working hand in hand, these two professionals highlight an essential idea: perceive myself (how I see myself internally), see each other (what I see in the mirror) and being seen (what others perceive) are three distinct dimensions, often out of balance .
“Photography is a wonderful way to express yourself, to reconnect with your bodyand overcome your blockages,” explains Pascale. The objective? Accompany participants on a trip introspectiveto learn to highlight their strengths without letting themselves be held back by their complexes .
Ther means “take care of yourself,” Happy means “happy,” and photo means “photography.”
A three-step method
Ther-Happy-Photo is not just a simple photo session. It begins with a personalized interviewwith Samira and Pascale. This exchange allows us to understand needs and expectationsof the person, whether it is a lack of confidence, a physical complex or a pivotal moment in their life (pregnancy, divorce, illness, scars, etc.).
Then, time for preparation: colorimetry image advice, choice of outfits or even stress management. Every detail is taken care of so that the person feels completely comfortable. The photo session, lasting from one hour to one and a half hours, takes place in a friendly atmosphere, between natural lightand spontaneous gestures.
Samira specifies: “Our role is not to transform, but to reveal . We want to capture the natural essence of each individual, without artifice or filters.
An answer to many situations
Shyness, stress, weight loss or gain, aging, scars… Ther-Happy-Photo is aimed at all those who wish reconcile their body and mind. Pascale says: “Sometimes, a person starts the session with a sweater, and within a few minutes, they ask me: Can I take it all off? This confidence is born from a space without judgment, where everyone can rediscover themselves.
The process can be immediate or extend over several weeks, depending on individual needs. Some people prefer additional sessions to deepen their inner transformation with complementary tools like makeup, relaxation or hair advice.
A duo serving well-being
This project was born from a obvious encounter between two women passionate about the valuationof the human being. Pascale and Samira share a common approach: highlighting inner beauty so that it is reflected outside. Their complementary skills – photographic technique and image consulting expertise – make each session a unique experienceand profoundly transformative.
The sessions take place either at the Atelier de Sam rue des Orfèvres, or at Studio l’Instant P, rue de l’Égalité in Aurillac.
