Jodi Bieber’s won the World Press Photo in 2010. This series of her, entitled Real Beauty, has been inspired by a number of events, the primary being her own life. Her forties have brought a feeling of more comfort within her own skin than when she was younger. This project is an extension of a Dove billboard advertising campaign in London showing ordinary women in their underwear advocating and speaking up for Real Beauty. Advertising campaigns don’t usually draw her attention, but this one did. She felt a strong need to create a body of work that goes against what the media has depicted as beautiful.
