Renowned South African photographer Jodi Bieber has a powerful series of photos called Real Beauty that is definitely worth checking out!

The photos depict women who live around Bieber’s own community and she encouraged all of the women she photographed to explore their own personalities and fantasies for their shots.

All women have “Real Beauty,” Bieber explains. “Real” is  something we all possess just in the fact of our existence. “Real” is every woman in her own uniqueness.

This body of work was “inspired by a number of events,” describes Bieber, “the primary being my own life. My forties have brought a feeling of more comfort within my own skin than when I was younger even though my body shape has shifted dramatically.”

Each shoot was a collaboration between Bieber and her subject. The women were photographed their own homes and were encouraged “to explore their own identity in relation to beauty and to live for a couple of hours in an environment of elements of fantasy.”

No photoshop has been used. Instead the photos gave each woman the space to create a fantasy image of themselves as they are.

This amazing quilt was made by a young artist from Iceland named Siggi Eggertsson!

“For my graduation project in The Iceland Academy of the Arts I made a quilt,” she writes, “based on my childhood memories. The size of it is 2×2.5 meters, and it’s made out of 10.000 pieces.”

The artwork of illustrator Josephine Chime is currently on exhibition at The Cube gallery in East London in a show called Hold Onto More.

Her work features “oversized women, with curves, who transmit a special positive energy,” says Chime. “Beautiful and happy with their own bodies.”

After July, Chime’s work can be seen at The Hackney Wicked Art Festival.

What do you think of her work?
