Aretha Franklin: The Queen of Self-Appreciation

Aretha's Love for Herself
Aretha Franklin was not one to shy away from showing her love for herself. She once hired three makeup artists just to paint her face for an event, and even had her own music played during photoshoots!
Aretha's Favorite Artist
Celebrity photographer Matthew Jordan Smith shared a funny story about the time he asked Aretha who her favorite new artist was. Instead of naming someone else, she confidently replied, "Me!"
Aretha Cool
Smith is releasing a photo book called "Aretha Cool" in honor of the legendary singer. He recalls how Aretha would often sing along to her own songs during photoshoots, showing her love for her own music.
Never Tired of Her Playlist

Smith photographed Aretha up until her passing in 2018, always playing the same songs during their sessions. Aretha never got tired of hearing her own music, showing just how much she appreciated her own talent.
