After the baby
Stretch marks or a few pounds too much - many women do not feel well in their body during or after pregnancy . Photographer Jade Beall has made it her goal to give these women new self-confidence. Her project "A Beautiful Body Book Project" shows in black and white shots how beautiful pictures of women during and after their pregnancy can be.
No matter if the dent, the roll or the fold in the photographs remains deliberately hidden. And yet the women radiate a very special feeling: they feel comfortable in their body . And that's Jade Beall's plan: she wants to "redefine beauty." Blemishes are simply part of her body. For a lifetime, he works for us and even survives the miracle of birth. Definitely a reason for the homage to the female body.
For a long time, the artist herself did not believe in being beautiful. Superfluous baby pounds and the other concomitants of a pregnancy made it difficult for the American. Until she started making self-portraits and consistently received positive feedback for her courageous step.
50 courageous women have also dared to take this step and have their picture taken by Beall. The result is a project that shows how much joy women can have in their pregnancy, even with small blemishes and "blemishes". Definitely imitate!
