“My body is captured beautifully”

As a child I was already slim and muscular, and although a lot of women wanted to have my body type, I wasn’t always comfortable with this. There was a period I was very thin, and I got a lot of comments about my weight. It made me hide my body with wide clothes. I thought my body wasn’t beautiful. Such a shame because every body is beautiful if you take care of your body with love and health. 

Recently I am focusing more on gaining weight in a healthy way and from a place of selflove. I start to see how my body is changing. It’s getting stronger, rounder and more feminine. At the moment I feel very comfortable and I am proud of what my body can do. 

When Annelies asked me to pose for her, I didn’t need much time to think. I was very curious to see myself from another perspective. Besides, I am very happy at the moment with my body so why not capture this? 

I was so curious what and how I would see myself on the pictures. When I saw the pictures I was blown away, they looked like art! My body was captured so beautifully. The different angels, contrast, depth, and the light. It’s amazing to see my body like this through the eyes of Annelies. I think I even love my body even more!
