Mission Statement
The Stripped Project exists to provide a fair representation of real beauty in hopes of repairing the damage done by the skewed depictions of the human (especially female) form in traditional media.
Manifesto
These photographs are neck-down only, front and back. These models and their photographs are un-"enhanced” and unedited in any way. These photos are not meant to be attractive or perfect or sexy, though they may be. They are meant to be honest. If traditional art is the idealized depiction of "beautiful" forms, then this is an anti-art project. This project is a protest against the current domination of pre-packaged beauty and conformist aesthetics. It is a celebration of the human form. The purpose of this project is to promote discussion. This is part photographic catalog, part documentary, part cultural commentary, part political statement, but mostly it is a revolution.

Just stumbled upon this blog from the Shape of Mother. I like that Gabrielle? left on her shoes. One of the things that has always disturbed me about images of woman's bodies are the detraction from some of our most useful parts - ie. feet and hands. Unless, of course, they are selling designer runners or diamond engagement rings.
ReplyDeleteI like the shoes for different reasons though...because of the pose she took with them. It's true a man would never have stood like that so leaving the shoes on in this case is definitely different. I won't comment on her naked body since it's very obvious there isn't much to say but that it's very, very, very, beautiful!
ReplyDeletethese shots have a nice, playful feel. it's one of the things i enjoy here that i realize (in hindsight) was missing at the human variation project. that one had a very clinical feel to it. this project works at similar goals (celebrating human beauty), but manages to include some humanity along with the humanity. if that makes sense.
