Study objectives were to assess the impact of a photoshoot and public exhibition on the self\u2010perception of individuals with extensive birthmarks, and to explore the viewing public's reactions.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>Thirty individuals with congenital melanocytic nevi (CMN) were recruited internationally. Each had a professional photoshoot portrait with their skin exposed, resulting in a public exhibition in London entitled \u201cHow do you C Me Now?\u201d Participants\/parents completed pre\u2010 and post\u2010questionnaires relating to self\u2010perception and the impact of their birthmarks on behavior. Over 8000 members of the public viewed the exhibition, 464 completing an on\u2010site questionnaire on its effects.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>All participants\/parents rated the experience as positive, valuable and helpful. Scores on self\u2010appreciation and self\u2010confidence were significantly higher after the photo shoot.

The majority of public respondents also reported that the exhibition made them feel better about their own skin and about their looks in
