Q: A: |
Why not just use professional models? The typical images of women in the mainstream media represent a tiny percentage of the actual body types found in the world. Worse, many images are manipulated to represent a ridiculous "standard" of beauty. This portrayal of women is warping our society's perception of beauty. The vast majority of the modeling profession is focused on a very small segment of female body types. In reality, women come in many shapes and sizes and it is our commitment that this book reflect that variety. Appearing in beautiful photographic art is not an exclusive right reserved for professional models. For this project we are creating beautiful images of women. We must reach beyond the modeling profession to promote individuality and truth. |
