Photos: Photographer Captures Obese Women Naked (Viewers Discretion Advised)
Uhmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
This series of images, captured by Italian photographer Yossi Loloi, are the centrepiece of an ongoing art project called FullBeauty. The 36-year-old insists his subjects weight at least 30 stone (with the heaviest tipping the scales at 43 stone) and hide nothing from the glare of his lens.
Loloi’s fascination of bigger women began in 2006, when he started photographing models known as SSBBW (Super-Sized Big Beautiful Women). He said: "I wanted to show that beauty isn't owned by skinny people alone.
"To this end the project had to be provocative, but at the same time reassuring, so I focussed on their fullness and femininity as a form of protest against discrimination. "My intention was to show women of size in a way that would be hard for people to criticise. So I shot them in settings that weren't instantly recognizable.Loloi’s fascination of bigger women began in 2006, when he started photographing models known as SSBBW (Super-Sized Big Beautiful Women).
