body typography


a while ago i posted an interesting video i found as inspiration for this project.

i have been examining the riot grrrl movement for part of my college project. a huge part of the movement is about being yrself, not caring what other people think and feeling comfortable in yr own skin. over the years this movement has helped me become more at own in my own skin and with this project i aim to inspire people to do the same.

i photographed models topless as the naked human form is one of the most natural things in the world. i used different body types to show that beauty comes in many shapes and forms and i projected text, ranging from derogatory words to inspirational messages, onto their bodies using an over head projector. i still have a lot of photos to edit and will be playing around with exposure to make the model's skin tones merge with the canvas, therefore making the models the canvas.

to be continued...
