“The body is the instrument of our hold on the world.”
― Simone de Beauvoir
In today’s world and age all of us at every point in our lives are told that our bodies are imperfect - too fat, too lean, too asymmetrical, too wrinkled, or too dark.
Even though there have been active moments against body shaming and a greater increase in knowledge about the same , these comments still seep into our consciousness and ruin our partially withered self-esteem.
Approximately 93% of women and 83% of men reported being body shamed. (Survey by FitRated). So the challenge that I gave myself for this series was that I wasn't allowed to use any skin enhancement, or even artificial lighting, to make the models' skin look clearer. It had to be raw. It had to be real.
