http://youarebeautifulselfshots.tumblr.com/ and http://christphotography.tumblr.com/ have teamed up to create an art project that will not only open the eyes of people, but also hopefully make people feel more secure about themselves and their bodies.
The project was proposed by christphotography as a way to make a statement of who we all really are, the media portrays the norm to be stick thin people with big breasts, for the ladies, and big muscles, for the men. But we all know this isn't what we all are but that doesn't stop people from wanting to try and so feel bad about who they are.
The specifications of the project is to write your insecurity across your torso, chest, stomach etc and take a photo of yourself and your insecurity. the pieces will be editted so that only the neck down to the knees will be shown, so if your face is in them it will be blurred/darkened as we want these characters to be anonymous and so representing us all.
The guidelines are simple, the project wants to show off the bodies that we are so "insecure" about and so
- Writing must be clear and clearly visable, thick pens are best
- Underwear is optional, show off your bodies or cover them up a bit, but only underwear/swimwear as the idea is to show the body that you are insecure about
- Be truthful, it'll ease the "insecurity"
- Mirrors are best for this, but anything where you can get in most of the body will be fine
- The final images will be from neck down to knees, so please dont cut these bits off yourself, this will be done before anything is put up
Hopefully this will be the next big thing, and not only induce confidence, but hopefully relieve some of those feelings and make you feel better
We have been asked to also warn people that some of these images may be "triggering"
