ricardo scipio's Goddess Project

Natural Beauty is Powerful and a Gift.

Look through my lens and see beauty in a new way. See women in a new way – or maybe the oldest way possible: as goddesses.

The Goddess Project is book of nude photographs of brave, beautiful women who rejoice in being themselves regardless of size, age, height - regardless of anything. It’s not about what you look like, it’s not even about what you don’t look like, it’s all about how you feel about yourself…and how you feel about life itself.

That’s what my book is about. It’s the way I see and photograph women: as goddesses. It’s what I want for every woman and for the world.

And this book isn’t just a book: it’s a mission. It’s a manifesto. It’s a beauty revolution, and the antidote to mainstream media’s impoverished and interchangeable images of female beauty.

I used to be part of that media. For ten years, I worked in New York and Toronto as a fashion photographer – and my work demanded that I promote and support a view of beauty and sexuality I never personally believed in. Super-thin teenagers with under-developed bodies and barely in touch with their own nascent womanhood were as far away from my personal version of female beauty as one can imagine. During that time, I grew a career – but I lost more than I gained.

And so I left the industry to start a revolution in pictures.

From 2002-2010, I was on a mission. I photographed 77 incredible women and trust me, it was a momentous task to select 160 of my favourite, most compelling images from thousands and thousand of pictures. These women are goddesses of all kinds: black, brown, white, young, old, thin, fat, small, tall. Some are earth mothers, others are warriors, protectors or sex-goddesses.

This book is an offering to the goddesses. It’s an offering to you, and to the goddess in you. May it help you see it, feel it, live it.

"Since i have met you many things have changed. Even though you and i have not met in person your goddess project has affected me so deeply. For the past three years of my life i was a dancer. Constantly looking at my fit body not thinking it was good enough. I was an object.  Then here you come. With ideas i have held to my heart since i was 18, alone, with a brand new baby. I walked away from an abuser and was strong and feirce. I knew my power and beauty. Somehow i lost her. Then you came alon,g and at that same time the goddess came back to me with a force i couldnt deny, oh but i tried. Untill my goddess necklace broke off of me. I was on stage, feeling that i shouldnt be there, and she broke and fell to the floor, i was crushed. I dont believe in coinidences. A few days later i left the dance world. NOw i am reclaiming my body and my inner goddess. This is the first time in years i can look at my naked form and be soo proud of its untamed beauty.I can sing again with all my heart. My children, my husband and all those i hold dear to me are all on there way to having an unstoppable force of pure woman for the first time ever, and im never going back!  I want to thank you with everything i am for what you are doing. The stories you share from the goddess project have deeply changed me. "
