How to Find a #BodyPositive Photographer
What does body positivity have to do with a photography business? Everything.
The way your photographer feels about bodies will affect every part of your session, from reviewing a beautiful portfolio of images to receiving your own photographs. The farther away your body is from mainstream standards of beauty, the more your experience will be affected by how much your photographer appreciates and respects all kinds of bodies.
Choosing a photographer who’s experienced in working with all types of bodies, including those who aren’t models, may not be a life-or-death decision, but it can change your entire experience from a stressful to an uplifting and joyful one.
