Intimate, visually refreshing, maybe even surprising, Bare Reality will make you reconsider how you think and feel about your own body, and those of the women in your life.

I love how you learn each woman's story through her breasts her development, her response to the culture around her, illness, her sexuality, her children. When I first saw Laura Dodsworth's project, Bare Reality - which shares 100 unretouched, anonymous pictures of real women's breasts - I was completely fascinated.Culturally and personally, no body part inspires love and hate, fear and lust, worship and desecration in the same way. In Bare Reality, 100 women bravely share un-airbrushed photographs of their breasts alongside honest, courageous, powerful and humorous stories about their breasts and their lives.

To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Airbrushed breasts, belonging to models and actresses, not only create an unflattering comparison but present an unobtainable ideal. I am in the non-breastfed demographic so that could explain my fascination with all things female (chests) or perhaps I just like what I do not have. The Bare Reality series has been featured and reviewed in The Guardian, The Telegraph, The Times, The Sunday Times, The Daily Mail, The Sun, The Mirror, The Independent, The Evening Standard, Metro, i paper, Glamour, Cosmopolitan, Marie Claire, Grazia, Stylist, DIVA, Gay Times, Huff Post, BBC World, ITV’s Loose Women, BBC Womans Hour, BBC Radio London, BBC London News, Channel 5 News, Radio 5 Live, Talk Radio, LBC, and many international newspapers, magazines, radio and television programmes. Just as Bare Reality: 100 women, their breasts, their stories presented the un-airbrushed truth about breasts for women, Manhood: The Bare Reality shows us the spectrum of 'normal', revealing men's penises and bodies in all their diversity and glory, dispelling body image anxiety and myths.At the same time, in Western culture they are considered a woman’s single most significant sexual attribute. das Buch 'Bare Reality' ist ein wunderbares Werk aus fotografischer Sicht und vor allem von Inhalt her. Ich schau das Buch mit meiner 12-Jährigen Tochter an, sie fand es erst sehr seltsam, aber nun hat sie Spaß dran und vielleicht schafft es etwas Freiheit im Vergleich zu Germanys next top Model.
