The screen is not a wall you perform at. It's a room you inhabit.
Most people treat the lens as a judge — a panel of critics behind the glass, waiting to score them. That stance shows. It makes you project outward, push, and brace for the verdict.
Flip the frame
The lens isn't glass. It's a single person you've decided to be honest with. The space around and behind you isn't a backdrop — it's the world you're inviting them into. Once you treat the camera as a universe rather than a judge, the whole posture changes: you stop projecting out and start drawing them in.
You don't need a studio. You need one framed space you can step into and own completely.
Take it further
Notice whether you're projecting at the lens or drawing someone in through it. The shift is mostly a decision.
