Fine Arts Nude Series Aims To Encourage People To Introspect Their Relationship With Their Bodies
It's all about realizing that every BODY is beautiful. There are no "beauty standards" here!
"The series Bodies: A Fine Art Nude Series was inspired by a series of events in her own life, as well as her own relationship and struggles with her body. “I knew I wasn’t the only one who’d ever struggled to see myself, to accept wherever I was in my body journey, or to sit with the discomfort of it all. This inspired me to document people’s journeys within themselves and their bodies,” she shares. The series is a celebration of the body in all its flawed glory. “My aim with this photo series is to document each person in the present journey that they are on with their own bodies. It is a love letter in the form of a photo essay from each of the muses to themselves,” she shares. Through the series, she aims to not only document, as authentically as possible, that relationship but also capture people in their truest element." Read the full story HERE.
