These are some of my own photographs from the shoot I did alongside this essay. I have not used excessive re-touching on these images. These photographs are 100% natural. In my opinion photographs in this style would be much better in magazines than the airbrushed 'reality' that we see today. More natural images would give women the confidence to be happy in their own skin. Instead women feel pressured to cover-up with make-up, to perfect every single flaw, before going out. This is summed up by 'Peter's Almanac' - "Always remember that true beauty comes from within, from within bottles, jars compacts and tubes." However I think more women should share the view of Havelock Ellis; "The absence of flaw in beauty, is itself a flaw".
