W hen Matt Blum began photographing women nude, he didn’t intend to start a movement. He just wanted to make good photography. But over the last ten years, Matt and his wife Kat Kessler have built something that has become both an artistic, captivating collection of photography and a project making bold statements about body-positivity and self-love.
The Nu Project is an online archive of nude photos of ordinary women around the world. The entire project is volunteer based: women invite the photographer into their home for the shoot, and agree to have the photos included on the project’s online gallery free of charge. Viewing the images is free and the online galleries reach 2.8 million visitors a year, half of the traffic coming from audiences outside the states. In 2013, the Nu Project published a book collection of their favorite images over the past seven years (available on Amazon).
What’s most remarkable about the Nu Project photos are their powerful depiction of the ordinary. None of the women photographed are professional models, and the photo “set” is often their unkempt apartment, complete with unmade beds, sprawled magazines, and dirty dishes still sitting in the sink. Women happily pose baring their cellulite, their tan lines, their belly creases as they laugh. Women pose washing dishes, reading magazines, watering the plants, cuddling their lover, or playing with their toddler.
And through these simple depictions, the project makes viewers reconsider what deserves to be captured in a photo, what deserves to be displayed and proudly shared for the world to see, even if just at home . Doing so, it has created an empowering resource for woman seeking proof that what constitutes a “beautiful body” is far more diverse than media suggests .
To make the photos geographically diverse, photographer Matt Blum and editor Katy Kessler have traveled all throughout South America and Europe coordinating shoots with local women to include on the website. According to Matt Blum, the photographer behind the project, women volunteer for a variety of a reasons: anything from a history of body issues, to simple curiosity of trying something new. The only commonality between all participants is that they have the openness and trust to welcome Matt into their home to do his art.
“We never had any governing principles that have stayed consistent, other than the fact that we wouldn’t exclude anyone.”
Many other artists have begun using the internet to combat negative and inaccurate depictions of the female body and begin confronting the insecurities it creates with projects like We Women and The Body Is Not An Apology , or Let Me Love Me, a Facebook Page dedicated not to women, but to people of color.
Through working on the project, Matt has noticed differences in perspectives from women in different areas of the world. But he also believes some ideas are common everywhere:
“In Latin America people are far more conservative about nudity whereas in Europe, people are far more liberal about taking their clothes off. And yet, the idea of the media focusing on similar body types, that’s universal. Europeans still don’t see real bodies in the media. In 2015, across the globe, people react to and respond to this idea.”
Matt hopes to continue exploring the themes of confidence and vulnerability in his future work. He is now currently working on an a project expanding the idea of nudity to include photographs people baring any aspect of their lives they don’t often allow others to see.

“When people see The Nu Project I hope that the very last thing they notice is that no one is wearing clothes.” -Matt Blum, Photographer.
“Anyone who has gone skinny dipping can understand how something about nudity brings people closer together. It makes you a little more vulnerable and so allows you to connect with others a little bit quicker.” - Matt Blum, Photographer
“When a volunteer thinks ‘well I can’t get any more naked, and I’m in my own home, so might as well just be myself’, that’s when the shoot works.” -Matt Blum, Photographer
“My work with this project is to get out of the way of the image and let the story be told." -Matt Blum, Photographer
"In Brazil, I’d hear a lot of women say 'in our country, our bodies are the property of men.'” -Matt Blum, Photographer
"In Germany, we’d hear alot of women say “I’m just tired of photoshop, I want to be a part of a project where the people look like my mom and my friends and that’s valid and that’s beautiful.” -Matt Blum, Photographer
"Photographers are hired to capture super pretty things...But to show something that we typically don’t allow people to see; that’s always what is most interesting to me.” -Matt Blum, Photographer

Posing naked during or after pregnancy is often the last thing that some women feel like doing, but for others it can be both empowering and emotional.
Now a new book reveals the truth about women's bodies after they have had children, complete with stunning photos and wise words from the mothers featured, all of whom explain how they learned to love their changing physique.
And it certainly doesn't pull any punches. Stretchmarks, saggy tummies and loose skin all feature in A Beautiful Body Project: The Bodies of Mothers by US photographer Jade Beall.
New book The Bodies of Mothers contains moving pictures of women after they have given birth
According to experts, birth has a huge impact on a woman's body and many feel their bodies are no longer the same afterwards.
But many of the women in Beall's fascinating book say that having their photograph taken helped them to reconnect with their bodies and overcome any negative thoughts about their perceived imperfections.
Accompanying the photographs of 80 women who volunteered to be photographed nude or semi-nude are their stories of how giving birth changed them.
Some said that they initially found their new bodies with their stretch marks and loose skin 'repulsive' but after time, came to appreciate their strength and beauty.
One of Beall's subjects Kasthuri. Her first child was born via a C-section after complications during birth
Photographer Jade Beall says she specialises in truthful images of women to counteract the culture of airbrushing
Beall, who lives in Arizona, says she suffered from poor self-image all of her life, but that it was only after she become pregnant that she began to love her body.
After giving birth she once again fell into a trough of self-loathing and became obsessed with losing weight.
But when she posted a nude self-portrait online that showed her breast-feeding her baby son it went viral and was shared around the world. 
Thanks to the huge media interest in her project, Beall then decided to create a series of photos showing 'real' and inspiring women of all different ages, shapes and sizes, saying that she hoped to inspire future generations of woman to embrace their beauty just as they are.

But Beall didn't have the money to carry the project out on her own, and considered dropping the whole thing to concentrate on her professional work.
However her husband Alok Appadurai suggested that she tried to raise funds through Kickstarter. After uploading a video created on their home computer, she was astonished to find that people pledged $60,000- three times what she had asked for - and she had got a further $20,000 in pre-orders for the book.
Media interest in her project took off in early 2013 with coverage from news organisations from all around the world.
Now her book. which was edited, proofed and produced by neighbours and volunteers, will be published May 11.
In the preface, Beall writes: 'We joyously present you with this revolutionary concept and global bodypositive and self-love movement: that one need not be photoshopped to be beautiful.
The book contains 80 stunning pictures of women who volunteered to have their pictures taken
'One need not be anyone but one’s own self to be lovely and lovable. One need not buy a thing to ‘improve’ or ‘change’ their irreplaceable preciousness.
She continues: 'Scars, rolls, bones, big or small breasts, wrinkles all tell a story, the 'I Am Beautiful' story.
'Thin and voluptuous women; young and old women; dark-skinned and pale women; the one legged and no-legged women; yes all women beautiful on the inside are equally and authentically beautiful on the outside! '
'There is no one else like you. Our variety and differences give greater meaning and depth to the concept of what beautiful truly is! We need you. I need you. You belong here. You are beautiful.'
A Body Beautiful Project: The Bodies of Mothers by Jade Beall, £30.20, is available to pre-order on Amazon.co.uk
