The Expose Project

Activist blogger Jes Baker creator of The Militant Baker teamed up with photographer Liora K to create The Expose Project. An incredible collection of photographs proudly showcasing women, as they really are. Un-Photoshoped, un-airbrushed and unbelievably beautiful.

Women you wouldn’t normally see on billboards or adverts. Women just like you, with bodies likes yours, with scars, stretch marks, cellulite- everything we are told to hide. Undressed and baring all these women showed the world that they are more than enough!

When was the last time you opened up your browser and saw a beautiful image of a body shape that looked just like yours?
