Search Results: opinions on weight

I am a hobby photographer from UK and have been challenging models during this Pandemic time to self take photos for me based on a theme or to recreate photos I send them.
I edit them for the models and we both have freedom to use on our portfolios.
This project was all about recreating a summer holiday but inside their own home. What with us all being grounded and unable to travel anywhere.

As I am unable to go outside and physically shoot with models this has been a way to keep my creativity going during this hard time.

Looking at the photo and your own opinion about yourself and what you perceive to be the ideal, size, shape and beauty of a women.

Does this empower you in anyway regarding your own body standards?

Do you think you could pose nude or in a bikini with confidence regardless if you have feminist views that state you don't need to?

Also should there be a set standard when it comes to how the media and celebrity portray to the world what is acceptable regards to weight, looks and shape for women?

I also get lots of models ask me if they are suitable for my castings etc. Yet on multiple occasions I keep telling them I have no set standard and anyone is welcome to participate regardless of looks.

I also try and do limited retouching I will refuse to make models look thin but will do the occasional skin smoothing for artistic effect.
However I will not edit out any tummy or fat legs that you think you have.
If you are not comfortable in your natural self and expect to be airbrushed all the time then I am not the photographer for you. I prefer to capture women's natural beauty and empower them to love their natural selves, which I understand in this society is sometimes hard to do what with peer, celebrity and media pressure.

The government wants prices to go up, it's the only way to pay off the massive debt... with cheaper money.

Govt will tax your earnings and assets of course, in anyway they can. But they will create more and more $ out of thin air to pay for all the things they feel they need to spend on and that means the $ you have and earn will buy less! The federal reserve bank has stated they want inflation and will let it run "hot".

I'll bet your wages don't go up as much as inflation, that is if you get to keep your job. Lets hope you get retrained into a better job! Til then, this means your standard of living goes down... even more.

No matter who the President is, wouldn't matter, it's one dysfunctional mess that's been repeated through history. Govts can't say no... but they can say "spend"! It's just getting more noticeable of the effects. Things you need like fuel, food... go up. Who knows what else. One working man in the middle class used to be able to care for a family of 4, my father did. Try doing that now. Have to be a Dr. or Lawyer.

People outside USA... you may be better off (if we don't get you blown up in a war). Let us know if you have good place to move to, to save ourselves... from ourselves. My bet is on Italy or Australia.

I'm not going to tell you how to get ready... that's a mytake with all kinds of opinions...

@midnightmoon, bet they have some fun beaches to explore...
