{The Body Liberation Guide} The future is fat
Hi friend,
I have lots of updates for you this week!
First, it’s such a cool opportunity and honor to be included in The Future is Fat issue of Womanly Mag!
Pre-order your print issue here and support fat-positive media.
Second, I’m working with a model next week to create new photographs for Body Liberation Stock. This time I’m focusing on anti-diet and body image concepts.
Got a stock photo wishlist? Send it to me by Tuesday afternoon and I’ll consider it as I create the shot list for the shoot.
Third, I’ll be doing some major maintenance to the Body Liberation Photos/Body Liberation Stock website this week. Expect the site to be slow and possibly down for parts of the week.
Fourth, your next opportunity to catch a webinar with me is coming up!
In the Fat-Positive Posing & Selfie Techniques workshop, learn how self-portraits express power, photographers’ tricks for good portraits, and poses you can use forever.
On Tuesday, July 16 at 5:30 pm Pacific time (PST), we’ll cover:
- The relationship between portraits, power and profit
- Why selfies are sometimes considered vain and shallow
- The basics of exposure, lighting and composition
- How to take good-quality photos with just your phone
- Dealing with emotions that come up with photos
- Five easy-to-strike poses to take with you
Expect to spend 90 minutes to two hours at the workshop. A recording will be sent out to everyone who signs up, so register even if you can’t make it and watch later at your convenience.
The workshop cost is $29; Black, Indigenous and People of Color (BIPOC); queer folks; disabled and neurodivergent folks; and people with hip measurements over 50″ can take $10 off with code SELFIEEQUITY.
And now, to this week’s letter:
In the comments on an Instagram post where a fat person was asking for more clothing options, a retail store said defensively that there’s limited room in stores.
