Description
Claire: What's your name?Bender: What's yours?
Claire: Claire.
Bender: Claire?!
Claire: Claire. It's a family name.
Bender: Oh, it's a fat girl's name.
Claire: Oh, thank you.
Bender: You're welcome.
Claire: I'm not fat.
Bender: Well not at present, but I can see you really pushing maximum density. See I'm not sure if you know this, but there are two kinds of fat people: there's fat people that were born to be fat, and there's fat people that were once thin but became fat... so when you look at 'em you can sorta see that thin person inside....
--The Breakfast Club
Really, the only manip. I did to this was to make it b&w, and add contrast. Cut out a few uneccessary pieces of furniture, and doctored up the shadow a little. But what you have there is pretty much what it started out as...

Don't shoot me, but this would be a perfect image if the 'inner fat girl' text was gone. It's powerful on it's own.

This is quite simply breathtaking. The lighting, the contrast, the pose, the shadow, everything. Quite a statement.

I haven't gotten around to really commenting on any of your work, well...ever 
This is definitely going into my faves, because i love the concept of it, and i love how well your idea was executed--to pure perfection, that it
Good job and keep up the good work!

Don't we all live in the eternal dread of our inner fat girl. Great comment on the whole body culture obsession of today.
Breakfast club, huh? Good movie. 
You look like a Claire. Are you?

This is a really well done piece. Great composition... It makes me so sad, though! It reminds me of how I used to be when every day I'd look in the mirror and hate myself. I was not thin or fat... "normal" I guess, but what I perceived myself as was massive. Crazy.
Anyhow, very nice work. I love it.

Well I'm glad you don't do that anymore, and glad you brought it up because that was one of the things I was really going for in this piece.. that self-loathing/skewed perception. Anyhow, thanks for the comment!

You're welcome! It's such a really well-done piece, too.

I like your use of noise (ie speckles) in this image. NICE extreme contrast. I like your use of lighting to really create an extreme shadow in this image. Interesting use of text. Very nicely done.

Great range of tones and textures.
Like the concept behind it.
Shadow balances picture well.
Thought provoking.

Firstly: You don't look like you're "well over the average" BMI. You're positively skinny compared to me, and I'm still considered "average" by the BMI. So hush, you
Secondly: Really nice idea for the piece, I love the editing you've done on the shadow and the way the piece is quite grainy and dark, and I like the way you look hesitant and almost petulant too, the way you're standing is both reluctant and defiant, as if you can see your shadow and it's an omen, but something you're not willing to accept into your life. It's very "I am Woman!" as someone's said before me, but also quite childlike.
The one thing I don't like too much is that the lighting behind you has illuminated your back to the point where it blends into the background, and makes you look like your back is entirely flat - but that can't be avoided.
Good work! (And shush about being fat

well actually, the shadow really was like that in the original photograph, as well as the graininess...I just gave it higher contrast

ah, great dialogue.. thoroughly entertaining film.. I fell in love with the girl who collected random trinkets.. Too bad she had to go and change the way she did. The photograph is great.. the shadows are nice and dramatic. The title is a little confusing.. Did you used to be overweight? or are you calling yourself a 'fat' person on the inside?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Well, the point of the piece is that the shadow is supposed to be fat. Like the shadow of an obese person...an omen perhaps, or really a reflection of that qoute.. "there are two kinds of fat people: there's fat people that were born to be fat, and there's fat people that were once thin but became fat". No, I was never overweight, but I do think I'm fat in the teenage sense, mind you, and have a fear that I'll continue to grow bigger and wider like I have for the last 16 years of my life, really. Hmm..I was going to say something else, but I've forgotten...

'bigger and wider' you mean 'an adult'?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
bigger and wider in the sense that my body's stopped growing but my waist keeps going..I'm already well over the average BMI for my height.

...and...that your not fat. has that feel "I, Woman" quite sexy and feminine.

thanks. I'm VERY proud of this piece. I consider it my best work yet.

You know, I would do a picture of myself like this, too, but, unfortunately, my mom views my work, so....
._.
It's awesome, though. I really hate it when people edit their photos to such a degree that they're no longer what they truly are... you know? Very nice, though it IS a little... odd seeing a friend standing in high heels, wearing nothing but undies, a belt, and their shirt, lol.

I figure it's no different than taking a picture of yourself on a boating trip in your bathing suit, of course I would certainly hope that my parents don't see this either...
so, what do you think of the concept/execution? Does it look sexy chic, or just, well...fat.

Actually, I find the more curvy, voluptuous body to be WAY more interesting/attractive than those ugly, disgusting, zombie "models" - they look like plain, fragile twigs. There's nothing to see about them, because there's nothing to their body, really, only angles ((boney)).
I love the concept you portray in this photo, and I actualy realy like the way your hair falls over your face - nice touch, lol. Personally, I think it looks "sexy chic" - I'd rather say lovely, but that's just me, lol.
Very loverly!
I sort of want to do something like this, because my body is shaped oddly, I think. I have a very lean upper body ((which you know about, of course - me fitting into your mom's old dresses and all, lol)), but then my lower body becomes more curvy. We'll see....
This is off topic from the pic, actually, but I was thinking about doing a photograph that involves someone doing a handstand ((body against a wall for support if needed)), and they'd be reading a book and smoking a cig at the same time ((bubble gum cigs? lol)) - I just thought of that one day and was like, "Hm. That would be interesting...."
In my head, it would be an unusual/cool B&W photograph.

I can do that. Well, not the handstand...but the rest I'd be more than happy to. As for the ones of you, do you mean ones more scantily clad? Or just more full body artsy...?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I guess more scantily clad.
I'd be willing to try the handstand thing, lol.
