Over the years, we've worked on a number of media projects, but there are some that really stand out. Around 10 years ago we were fortunate to spend a lot of time with young fashion photographer Amelia Allen who came to a number of events and venues, immersing herself in our world by taking photographs for her book Naked Britain, while also naked herself. She really became part of our community.
Join me on Monday 15 April as I chat to Amelia about her journey, the reasons for embarking on the project, her experiences and the success of the book - including the clothes-optional launch party spilling out onto the pavement of London's Piccadilly!
Amelia's other projects have included an exhibition and book in The Houses of Parliament (209 Women) and photographing the official women's rights marches and campaigns during the centennial year (2018) that women won the right to vote in Britain. She is currently working on a second book on this subject. She hosts regular workshops and body positivity photography sessions photographing members of the public nude and in a raw and unretouched style to celebrate the diversity and variety of bodies that we don't always see in modern media and often photographs pregnant women naked to show the beauty of the transitional period of the female form and then women postpartum with their babies.
Join us on the night over in the BN shop and buy the book here!
