Nudity is no longer considered as taboo as it was just a few short decades ago but for some reason, this does not mean we are comfortable in our skin. There are tons of different body shapes and sizes, all of which are beautiful in their own way.
Sophia Vogel has a photo series called With and Without that really brings to light all the different body sizes and that even if someone looks ‘perfect’ clothed they may not look that way nude. She asks her subjects to do something they would enjoy doing clothed. Afterwards, she has them do the same task without clothes, and then places the photographs side by side. It is quite interesting, to say the least.
All of her subjects are normal everyday people instead of models and she features everyone from dentists to teachers. Check out some of her work below and let us know what you think. I for one find this to be truly inspiring.
