the bare project

A model call turned storytelling project.


The bare project is a nude photography & storytelling project started in 2019.


The idea is to capture the honest nude form with reflections from the participants on their body journey.


I put out a model call for pregnant people willing to pose nude for a photography session, and the response was overwhelming. The project quickly evolved in a storytelling project that I am still working on today. To any past participant still waiting on their full gallery, my intention is to catch up on my back log of editing this year. Thank you for your patience.


My vision is to eventually bind these stories & images into a book.


Here are a few of the stories.
