Because my body parts are literally under a microscope, a macro lens and everything shows, I think I scrutinize myself more than actually I have felt scrutinized by the industry.

Sort of out of necessity because I had to keep my skin in shape for these macro close-up photographs where it's literally down to the cuticle.
