Illusions of the Body

"Illusions of the Body was made to tackle the supposed norms of what we think our bodies are supposed to look like. Most of us realize that the media displays only the prettiest photos of people, yet we compare ourselves to those images. We never get to see those photos juxtaposed against a picture of that same person looking unflattering....."

Very interesting!
I think self-confidence is the essence.

That's great. I always love looking at nudes, especially when there's a variety of body types and genders like in that collection (it doesn't worry me, but you might want to a a slight NSFW warning on the link).

Goes to show that poise, presentation and posture are so important to making a good impression!
