I love these! From a series by photographer Sophia Vogel called With and Without. Which she summarises (translated from German):

The project and each individual image is intended to encourage society to think about itself, its own body, about acceptance. For diversity and against beauty ideals (advertising) and all the environs for the exterior. I advocate in this work for self-love and acceptance of one’s own body, as well as the acceptance of others with their peculiarities.

It’s also an excellent illustration of the absurdity of our default clothed habits. Even if you’re not able to overcome the wider cultural taboo of nudity, why wear clothes at home when it’s not cold? What purpose do clothes serve when you’re just sat at a computer or watering your plants? You don’t need protection from clothing most of the time. Indeed sometimes, like doing yoga, they’re just a hindrance! 

Being naked should be normal; we all have bodies, and they are far both far more diverse and far more alike than the media representation of bodies would have so many believe. I think we’d all be happier healthier people if we weren’t so scared of our own physical forms.

I can’t wait to move out and go for walks with my best friend at 3am without being told it’s too late. I can’t wait to bake a cake at 2am without my family moaning about how long it takes to decorate. I can’t wait to walk around my house in my hot lingerie and not have to hide it away in fear of being called a slut. I can’t wait to lay on my bed for hours and do nothing without being called lazy. I can’t wait to listen to my music really loud without being told it’s rubbish. I can’t wait to do what I want without being judged by family that aren’t meant to judge you. I just can’t wait to be me.
