The Sisters in Strength Project
The Sisters in Strength Project was borne out of a need for representation of female strength athletes
The more we see a variation of bodies, the less we see ourselves as abnormal and we can slowly heal the relationship with our own bodies.
What’s it all about?
After realising the profoundly positive impact that photographing so many women nude had had on me, how it had helped me recognise that the parts of me I’d been taught to hate were actually perfectly natural, I knew that there was power in this kind of imagery.
The Sisters in Strength project is a series of art nude images celebrating the huge variety of women in strength sports, from larger to more petite athletes, from geared to natural, there is no one way to look like a strength athlete.
You’ll see wide waists, stretch marks, loose skin, broad backs, narrow hips, long limbs, short limbs, all of it!
The project is being finalised as a book, and an exhibition, giving as many people as possible the chance to see these powerful images - I want these images to be able to impact every single woman and girl who sees them, to show them that their body is perfectly okay exactly as it is.
In a world where women have been told that they should shrink down, this project is a rebellion to the status quo.
The Exhibition
In November 2023, Sisters in Strength was hosted as an exhibition, giving people the incredible opportunity to see these powerful images in print, as well as being able to read the inspiring stories of all the women who chose to be a part of the project.
There is nothing more rewarding than being able to showcase such a beautiful project in an exhibition!
The Book
For those who couldn’t make it to the exhibition, who want to take the images with them to appreciate and share them around, I have made the e-book available as a free download.
This e-book includes a beautiful selection of images from the project, as well as words from the women involved, touching stories of who they were before they started lifting and what these incredible sports have given them.
