Look, it's people!

We live in a strange dysfunctional society, thinking that one skinny, photoshopped size is, or should be, the norm. These pictures are who we are.

As much as I admire them, I have to say I have enough of a hangup I can't be the only one naked.

I’ve also had to get used to seeing photos of myself. As a performer, people will take photos of me – and most of them are of me mid-singing, and the faces you make as a singer can be horrendous, not super-photogenic.

Oh MAN I can relate to this. I had a friend where, no matter what, if you took a photo of her while she was talking, she would always have a silly or, at worst, mischievous look on her face. In the meanwhile, if I talk at any point within a five-second radius before or after the shutter button is pressed, I have a look on my face reminiscent of a horse sneezing.

Thanks for this. I love the range of bodies and identities represented and the beauty of their stories.

I'm inspired and humbled by their bravery and honesty. This is so valuable in helping people (including me) with body acceptance.

Thank you for posting.
