Photographer Challenges ‘American Beauty’ Standards With 14 Women Of All Shapes

San Francisco-based photographer Carey Fruth has set out to redefine what ‘American beauty’ is with a photo series of the same name that has women of all body types posing in romantic beds of flower petals. Fruth was inspired by a racy scene from the 1999 movie of the same name in which Kevin Spacey fantasized about one of his daughter’s friends.

“By stepping into a fantasy dream girl world and by letting go of that fear, they free themselves up to direct that energy they once wasted on telling themselves that they weren’t good enough to elsewhere in their life,” Fruth told Huffpost.

I really liked this, it was lovely. And these women are incredibly brave. I'm not sure I have the ovaries to do a project like this.

I like how you said "ovaries" as opposed to the conventional "balls" :D

It's beautiful but I wish that they show the cellulite and stretch marks too.

I feel like the point of this was to show women naturally, however it still appears as if all their stretch marks and scars have been airbrushed away.

As a fat woman, I know these are Photoshopped because there are no stretch marks or bra grooves.
