As a British Asian woman, it is a radical act to talk about body image in a public space; as it's often considered taboo. But I did it anyway. Inspired by my own personal weight experiences, I sourced women volunteers of 18+ years, to submit 3 words as to why they love their bodies. Opposite of asking why we 'don't like' our bodies, it aims to blow the doors of 'body positivity' wide open.

West Yorkshire based, professional photographer, started off working as a commercial photographer, and now explores socially-engaged work, supported by Arts Council England.
