In this fine art photograph by Lindley Ashline, a medium-bodied woman sits on a mountain near dusk, legs spread and hair framing her face. The photograph is a commentary on how people in larger bodies — especially women — are expected to compensate for their bodies by being extra nice, extra friendly, extra apologetic, extra open to conversations with strangers.

We’re over it, and we don’t owe you anything.

Lindley Ashline is a professional photographer based in Seattle, WA. She creates artwork that celebrates the unique beauty of bodies that fall outside conventional “beauty” standards. Her work is both body-positive and fat-positive, and is known for its rich colors and focus on bodies as they exist in the world without retouching.
