Of course I know - we all do - that all breasts are different. While I loved the act of breastfeeding - the empowerment, the bonding, the ritual - I didn’t like its effect on my breasts. After breastfeeding two babies (one for 13 months), it’s fair to say all the life has been sucked out of them. They were perky enough, suited my frame and didn’t get in the way when I was working out. Before I had kids I didn’t really give them much thought. Looking at some of the images on Laura’s website, it struck me how harsh I am on my own breasts. Today the project culminates in the release of a book and the launch of an exhibition - ‘ Bare Reality: 100 women, their breasts, their stories.’ The breasts of 100 women, all shapes and sizes, all with their own stories. So for two years she photographed breasts. Laura Dodsworth wanted to show what breasts really look like and tell their stories.
