This is an official call for anyone who wants to be involved in my project.
As part of my last year at uni I have to create a final project, and I have chosen mine to be: FAT. The final outcome of the project will be a book, which everyone will be able to buy, and will feature all sorts of beautiful fat people.
The point of this project is to represent fat people in a way other than the headless fatties we’ve become accustomed to seeing in the commercial media. It’s about normalisation of our bodies, in the hopes people will view us as what we actually are- humans with our own thoughts, feelings and identities, as deserving of respect as anyone else.
I’d like to do a really wide range of types of pictures, so get in contact and let me know if you’re interested in modelling for me. Also, let me know if there’s a certain way you’d like to be photographed- for example if you’ve always wanted some nudey shots, or pinup style, if you have a cool job/hobby you’d like represented or if you’d like your children to be included- I’ll do my best to cater to what you’d like.
I’d also like to make a point of saying that I’d really like to include as many groups as possible who are usually marginalised in ‘beauty’ projects- if you are a POC, PWD, trans*, queer, drag queen/king, old, alternative or anything else, PLEASE get in touch.
Those of you who are concerned you’re not attractive enough- YOU ARE. This is about non-conventional beauty in many many forms, and saying a massive FUCK YOU to anyone who’s ever told you you didn’t meet their standards.
You can contact me at: fatproject@hotmail.co.uk
I’m based in London, however I am willing to travel around a bit, so ask, ask, ask! Even if you’re not applicable to this project, tell anyone who might be interested, spread the word, help a student out and help make the world a more fat-positive place!
Why do I live in Australia? UK fats, get involved!
