Greetings my friends!
Those of you who follow my social media such as Facebook or Instagram know that I have never photographed anybody nude. It has always been my worry that my model or client would be sexualized so I have always avoided it. This shoot for me with the kind and brave Shelby felt like it was the perfect entryway to gain comfort in photographing a nude body, because they were portrayed exactly how I see it, a wonderful body.
A body, meaning the beautiful physical carrier of a package of emotions, beliefs, hopes and dreams. Thank you for hiring me to photograph this wonderful message of gender identification. There are many things I want to share about this message, but I’d like to hear your personal experience with our bodies. Do you identify with the body you were born in? What personality traits do you carry that the general society does not welcome because of the body you have? I’m all ears, or eyes really.
Why do you think is the significance behind the green socks? :) I personally felt it was a wonderful touch to add to the message of bending genders towards one another.
See you again
Asuka
