Many of us myself included struggle to find confidence in their own skin. As a teenager and into my twenties I was ashamed of my body. I have worn glasses since I was eight. If I had a nickel every time someone called me four eyes, I would have several hundred thousand dollars. I also had a severe acne problem that finally cleared in my late twenties.
I grew a beard to hide my acne. I looked even more hideous, however, my thought was it covered my pock marked face. At this time I also started losing my hair. For years I did not like my appearance. This in addition to other situations in my life made me insecure, shy and awkward. Today they call it body shaming.
Society has taught us that males have to be the macho body builder or handsome movie star. Women have to be the size one model. I call crap on this. Beauty is in everyone and everywhere. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. It doesn’t matter what colour you skin is, what ethnicity you are, how big or small you are, how tall or short you are. We are all beautiful, we are all of God’s creations.
Body shaming is not appropriate in any manner shape or form. The women in this photographic session are all beautiful. See for yourself at jessfielderphotography.com and embrace your inner beauty.
