. This is Reneice’s first shoot, which she states:

“there have been two main things that received myself in. (1) i have not ever been like in really love with my body as I am today. Obtaining right here had been a journey that I’m proud to have embarked on, and that I planned to make a move to commemorate this rigorous amount of human body really love i am taking pleasure in. At first my idea was to do a shoot of mainly near ups centering on my personal stretch-marks but then it clicked that the things I really desired was to do a shoot with my buddy Kenzi, because i really like her along with her work and couldn’t think about a better way to get this done the very first time than with a reliable pal with a long attractive collection of photographing beautiful queer systems. (2) there was simply not adequate representation of plus-size figures of color in non-objectified or shamed ways on the internet or actually elsewhere. I wanted to achieve this for myself, but also for the rest of the ladies with skin and rolls and stretch-marks and bumpy skin like my own. To express yes, we are GORGEOUS to behold. Yes, our bodies have a spot in smut and all artwork kinds that’s born from empowerment, self-love, and consent maybe not removed of those circumstances. Yes, we possess the straight to be seen, represented, and uplifted as much as various other systems. Which means this shoot had been my way of screaming those actions from hills.

Prior to the shoot we felt largely excited and slightly anxious. During I Happened To Be each nerves. Kenzi questioned me basically was actually alright a million occasions cause she actually is never seen myself so manic haha. I found myself definitely ok, it is only unlike every other experience or knowledge to be photographed topless by another person the very first time. It took even more faith and self-confidence than We expected to stay calm while some one is actually analyzing every angle of your human body so that you can capture it, and count on that they’ren’t judging you. I was fortunate in having Kenzi emote just really love and affirmation while she worked therefore by the end I’d disregarded I ever endured any cause to be nervous. Afterwards I was just eaten with giggles and pleasure and “OMG these shots tend to be FIRE” feelings.

I might like to see queer representation consistently develop outward, encompassing and remembering the vast assortment of appearance all of our community has actually. Not keeping dedicated to thin, cis, white figures.”
