I’ve Photographed Women’s Bodies To Show Them That Their “Complexes” Are Beautiful

These women don’t have confidence in her or don’t like their bodies. They think their “flaws” are not beautiful. By photographing them, I tried to prove them wrong by bringing out the sensuality, the natural, and the imperfect.

I wanted to highlight women’s naturalness and confidence. It is because I believe in the power of photography in the process of self-acceptance.

I agree with Melissa rosson, these bodies are already beautiful, so you took pictures of beautiful women to show them that they are beautiful. You might see this as "I wanted to show them they are beautiful because they didn't see themselves as that", and I appreciate that, but this post is a bit redundant. I expected a more drastic message.

It's not what people see objectively, it's what they see within themselves. You sound jealous. Let's hope these sensitive women shall receive the jealousy as a compliment.
