Body positivity is sensuality, it is Art

She is a female photographer who considers the female body as the most beautiful element in nature and does body positivity. Through her work, of course, without using photoshop, without set poses. She simply lets her models… dance in nature and any movement that excites her, which seems very human to her, she presses the button. Anastasia Mihaylova (you can find her HERE) captures naked bodies, intact, without makeup, without filters. In the earth, the wind, the water, in the natural environment. This is how she creates a work that is an ode to the naked female body, because as she says, nature is us. The Ukrainian artist is not interested in perfection in the body. She also wants her models exactly as they are, with stretch marks, with sweat, with imperfections. Because she sees women with her own sensuality, far from the stereotypes of modeling. Her lens always embraces the flesh as the sun does. She simply… imprisons bodies lying on rocks, immersed in foliage, in rivers on the camera. Which bodies are not invaders in nature, but an extension of it.

With her camera, she spreads body positivity

Each of her shots resembles a ritual, as its purpose is not the satisfaction of the voyeur, but the erotic desire of the viewer who has empathy. Who feels that the female body is our first home and often the most neglected. There is something deeply liberating in her images, which “speak” and say accept female beauty, as it is. Try to fall in love with imperfections, because this is the real, true sensuality. Who is not shameless, as her photos do not shout “look at me”, but “feel me”. As you observe them in detail, you understand that this woman penetrates the bodies of her models, brings themselves out. Anastasia Mihaylova shows us that nudity is not a scandal, but the beginning of an honest conversation with our bodies. Always with body positivity.
