Call for Photos: Body Positive
Photos have the power to shape, reinforce, and change our perceptions. Join our global community of professional photographers and help us build a more inclusive world.
Positive representations help us form connections, enhance self-esteem, and send powerful messages about one’s value in society. Noun Project is working to make inclusive, art-quality images available for all through Noun Project Photos — a curated, mission-driven collection of images from photographers around the world.
Noun Project is looking for images that showcase images of real people with various body shapes and sizes, a variety of physical attributes and people with traditionally marginalized bodies as they are — not as others believe they should be — feeling confident and living vibrant, everyday lives.
Within Body Positive, we would love to see images that celebrate diversity and intersectionality including:
- People in the LGBTQ community
- People of various ages, ethnicities and perspectives
- People with disabilities
- People of color
- Multiethnic groups
