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.
