This is Art. It’s funny how people get so bent about someone’s current body of work. Bravo!

If most people had stayed on the topic of the quality and aesthetic value of the photographs, I wouldn’t be responding. With that said, I believe that your response David, is the one that is the knee-jerk reactionism.
I assume you are thin. Do you have friends that are thin that live unhealthy lifestyles? I know that I do, as do most.
Do I know unhealthy fat people? Absolutely, but it isn’t my OR YOUR job to judge these people, and their body style. Some people are fat, some are not. Some are healthy, others aren’t.
I know a little about photography, but wouldn’t try to make judgment on the quality of anything I see, since I don’t know enough to make that type of call. By the same token, it’s difficult for me to watch you or anyone else here make comments about how unhealthy being overweight or obese is, without presenting a shred of evidence to support it.
And while I would welcome you (or others who posted here) contacting me so I could refute whatever you think you know, the fact remains that most people would prefer to not attempt to learn more, so that they can continue to support their personal prejudices.

And you know this HOW?????
1. There is no true medical connection between obesity and any of the diseases you mentioned.
2. You do realize that thin people get the same diseases that you mentioned as well, don’t you?
I grow increasingly weary of people who paint other people with a broad brush when they make assumptions and judgments based solely on their own prejudices and lack of knowledge. Contemporary research is showing more and more that fat does not necessarily mean unhealthy, and that the words fat and fit are not mutually exclusive.
Of course, if you’d rather delude yourself into thinking you know more than contemporary research.

Lenord Nemoy did a series of black and white photos of large women and I totally loved it just as I do the photos above. I also find larger woman attractive. I think you all are hating on the big girls…

Actually, there was nothing ignorant about what Sean said. He is completely correct. And from a medical perspective, you (as a woman) are not being healthy by being 265 pounds. Full stop.

Just as being underweight is unhealthy, so too is being overweight. Moreover, while anorexia, bulimia, and other serious eating disorders are very real and very serious, America as a whole is facing far greater issues (as a percentage of population) with obesity. There is nothing ignorant about his having pointed that out.

The only one being ignorant here is you Tonya. Chill with the knee-jerk reactionism and re-read what he said. Then, if you’re capable of such a thing, try articulating a more polite and calm response.

Separate from responding to Tonya, while these shots are well lit and well framed, they strike me as bordering on exploitation of the subjects in the interests of attention for the photographer.

Yes the world we live in is awesome. to bad there are condescending judgmental people like you who cannot see beyond their own small world. Perhaps, when you look into to the mirror, and you find perfection there, you can start looking elsewhere and begin to judge others. but I will let you know, perfection is unobtainable. keep looking into your own mirror.

I spent the majority of my life as “under-weight”. I was offered a modeling career. I was very fit, as I did over 240 crunches 4 times a day, and barely ate. My Doctor was concerned about my being so severely under-weight. Since I was put on Medication, for my health conditions, my weight has increased from 110 lbs, to 265lbs+. This was because I chose to be healthy, instead of thin. I want you to know, I have a healthy diet, walk to my appointments (whenever possible), and exercise. I want you to know, that I am classified as grossly obese, If you think my health choices, which is taking medication, (which has increased my weight by 2.5X) makes my lifestyle unhealthy, perhaps, you need to be educated in reality. It makes me angry that people, like you, seem to think, the majority of “full figure people” have eaten themselves into their figure. Perhaps if you were not so ignorant, you might consider that the majority of people usually do not a choice to be fat. Instead it is because of various health conditions. Until you are fully educated on REALITY, you should keep your uneducated opinions to yourself… instead of spreading ignorance. shame shame on you. And as for the rest of you
that agree with, the same goes for you!

Judge not lest the be judged.
