Project Reveal Looking for 2015 ‘Embrace Your Body’ Models
-by Stacey Godbold, Project Reveal President and Founder
Project Reveal's photography for the 2015 Embrace Your Body campaign is underway, and we are looking for models. Photographer Erin McCracken is wanting to take a different approach to this year's photos. In the same frame of Project Reveal's "Be Real" mantra, Erin wants to photograph women and young girls in a documentary style capturing real life situations of embracing your body to illustrate what makes you feel strong, courageous and beautiful.
We are looking to have even more diversity with our models -- women and girls of all ages, shapes and sizes, ethnicities and individuals with physical and developmental disabilities. We are all unique and each have a story to tell to inspire others to be happy with who they are and the journey they are on.
The girls' event last year was a huge success and gained lots of positive feedback, and we want to encourage more girls to participate in the photos to continue the conversation of embracing ourselves with girls at an early age.
Examples of the style Erin is wanting to shoot:
• If you embrace your body because you are a mother, Erin wants to photograph your daily life with your children. Also, if you are older and you have sacrificed yourself for your family, photographing the generations of your family hanging out to capture the love between you all.
• Athletes -- young girls and older women -- participating in a sport or being active.
* If you embrace your body because your mother does or you are trying to teach your children that being themselves no matter their shape or size photographing something special you do together.
* If you have overcome a challenge physically or an illness there are many ways in which we can illustrate this struggle.
• Young girls often have role models or look up to -- people in their lives, posters on their walls -- whatever it is that makes them feel comfortable and safe she can photograph them in their space.
*If you embrace yourself and use your body as a canvas to express yourself I want to photograph you.
We want to capture every day life moments and activities. This could be things as simple as going to the pool, family activities, girls hanging out with their friends, love between a mother and her daughter, sisters and the relationship you have to encourage each other or many other things.
We want to capture overcoming that struggle within ourselves to show that every day people are inspiring. Even if you are not sure how you may fit in but want to be a part of the project, we want to hear from you.
