And for a little controversy on this fine day. ;)
This is the photograph I donated to last night's fundraiser by the St. Pete Women's Collective to benefit Planned Parenthood.
The title is "This is My Country. This is My Body. You May Take Neither." It was a concept I wanted to shoot in response to our rights as women being infringed upon. Our right to healthcare, our right to choose, our right to be treated and respected as equals.
Everything is on purpose, right down to the bruise being left on her knee.
I learned of the art show a few days before my scheduled shoot and it seemed perfect. I love this woman. She's a dear friend, artist, and such a trooper. The emotions she showed during this shoot were fantastic.
Thank you to St. Pete Women's Collective for putting this together.
This is our country. These are our bodies.
This image was selected by Women's March Florida to use on Facebook for their new zine and to encourage more art submissions. :)
