Natural state of beauty

in Photography Lovers4 years ago (edited)

Hey, nice to meet you all in photography lovers' family. That's an introduction post from me to the community. I love photography and culture, fashion and artists is my focus points. Reportage is the style that could describe me better but I would never say no to a creative photoshoot like the one I am ready to present you.

The other day I was chilling with my sister Nana which is a dope musician and a poet. We were hanging out in our garden and the hot sun of Uganda was in the highest point. Luckily I had my camera with me and we turned our boredom into creativity.

We talked a lot about nudity, woman empowerment and standards of beauty but due to Ugandan's very strict Anti-Pornographic laws, we decided to do something more smooth. Sexual content was not our intention anyway.

We wanted to show the beauty of the human body in a natural state. How amazing it is. Just the way it is including any type of size, age, or color. People tend to confuse natural nudity with sexual content.

Many black woman have issues with their skin tone and they try to bleach in order to reach the ''International'' standards of beauty. Nana on the other side embraces the dark color of her skin and shows that real beauty is to be comfortable in your own skin.

I love this photo and how the model embodies the spirit of a Goddess in her most pure form. She debouches from nature like a Nymph of the forests and the flowers.

Hey thank you very much for the amazing comments I really appreciate🙏

Welcome to the Hive community @araali!
We sincerely hope you find everything you are looking for and have found a new home here.

Seven suggestions to consider:

  1. Guard your passwords carefully, and only publish with the posting key,
  2. Use your active key only for wallet transactions, keychain and Peaklock,
  3. The owner password is only used to reset compromised passwords,
  4. DO NOT lose your passwords; copy and store offline,
  5. Do not publish other people's work, be it photos or written, without credit, and
    be sure to source all of your work, even if it is your own
    .
  6. An introduceyourself tag is used only once , and
  7. Do Not open any links in memos or comments that you do not know who they belong to. If it sounds too good to be true it probably is, so the old saying goes. There is nothing free here.

I found you because @brittandjosie and @jamerussell from @heyhaveyamet presented and promoted your publication to get more exposure and help you grow faster.

Hey, thank you so much for the warm welcome. All your tips are very useful as I am still a bit confused with voting and commenting but I get your point. I will join the community you suggested and i hope it will help. The community looks very interesting already and I get the One hive feeling.
I am very happy to interact with you and your content and I will follow you. Your posts are informative and I can really relate to some of them like the one with the surfers. I studied in the Netherlands and I had friends which also happened to them.
Anyway thanks again for your comment and hope we will interact soon. I couldn't reply earlier because I moved to a very remote area in Uganda, due to lockdown in the whole country, and the solar system stopped working.

First off, welcome to the hive community. This photographs are amazing. Black is pure and beautiful.

I love how your sister Nana embodies the strong africa woman. Subsequently, you could share your camera details and camera with us, for the sake of fellow photographers and all.

Beautiful post and lovely photos! Welcome to the community. I wish you all the happiness!

You should have used #introducemyself as one of your first 5 tags, so that more people can discover your profile! 🙃

Hey, thanks a lot for the welcoming and the compliment. I will do this next time thanks for sharing. I also wish you all the happiness from the far Uganda🙏

What beautiful photographs!

Very artistic and professional, highlighting the beauty of your skin in combination with nature!

Really amazing!

Thanks for the compliment. I was actually hoping for that. Its the first time I experiment with heavier editing of the background but it hopefully came out artistic with natural body.
I really enjoy your profile by the way it interests me to learn more Spanish.

These are really good portraits! Welcome to Hive :) Really stoked to see your kind of talent on the platform.

This is such a beautiful comment. Thank you very much for welcoming me. I really like your page as well is very enlightening and holistic in a way.

Fantastic work! Super stoked to see more from you :))

Hey, thank you so much for your gift and your amazing compliment. Sorry, I did not reply earlier but last week we had problems with our solar system as we live in a very remote area in Uganda, in Fort Portal. I am still figuring out how to comment and vote but I will totally use your gift.

The kind of shoots I like to do. Amazing stuff! Thanks for sharing. I'm following you now!

Hey, thanks for your dope comment. I really enjoy your shoots as well I am gonna follow you back. If you ever come to Uganda we should arrange a shoot👊

Some epic shots. Welcome to Hive. Love that last one; she has such a epic look on her face.

Yeah, I know right that look is killer. Thanks for your compliment🙏

These are spectacular photographs! The model is beautiful and her skin looks like porcelain. Welcome Araali and I wish you much success on the platform.

Hey sorry for the late reply. Thank you for the welcoming and the compliment. Her skin even in real life is one of the most smoother skins I've seen in my life. Hope to see more posts from the nice blog you have. I like the details of the nature of photography.

That's a stunning skin tone and real dark beauty. You did very good job here and would just love to have Nana as one of my models :)

Yeah, Nana is amazing. If you ever come to Uganda I could introduce you. Your portraits are stunning as well I am happy to follow you

Wow beautiful photography! Welcome to the Hive! Good luck.

Thanks a lot for the compliment and the welcoming 🙏

This is so creative! Congratulations!

Thank you so much I appreciate especially from a blogger like you. I like your positive thinking🙏

My pleasure! Have a lovely day😊

Wow. Beautiful work all around. It’s awesome that your sister can embrace her beautiful skin. I tell my girlfriend constantly that her brown skin is beautiful and I wish she could be as comfortable with it as Nana. It is really confusing to me how seemingly every culture around the world equates beauty with light skin. A rose is beautiful in all it’s colors... Embrace the rainbow :)

Besides having pale skin is pretty inconvenient for a sun lover like myself ;)

Hey
Thank you very much for the welcoming and your compliment. I am sorry I couldn't reply earlier but we are in the middle of the Bush in a rural area of Uganda and our solar system does not charge very well. But yeah I am also waiting to see more from each other. I am happy I inspired you to write an article about female beauty and body empowerment. I read it and it was on point.
