the girl from back then.
o me the making or posting of this photograph has nothing to do with confidence or guts or whathaveyou. i am rather shy and modest, at least when it comes to my nude body. i chose to post this photograph not because i dont care what people think about me, because i do care, and not because i want creepy man hitting on me, which i figure is inevitable with nude photographs. i guess the best explanation i can come up with is that i am comfortable with my body. i find the human body to be absolutely incredible. for me, by backside is my favourite physical part of myself. i love my moles, bones, peach fuzz, dimples, etc. it's not about "artistic nudes" or anything of the sort. to me it is simply a self portrait in which i happen to be showing you a vulnerable and real side of me. this is me. i am not ashamed of my body. i was not attempting to be provacative or sexy, etc. it is simply a self portrait. if you do not like it then simply do not look at it.

Like the lighting and how it is reflecting off your back. I'm a bit puzzled about your description because the front of you looks very real and beautiful too, as seen in other pictures here!

I see nothing wrong with this at all. I actually see a well done self portrait of a person that is comfortable in their own skin and not ashamed to show it. Great use of natural lighting.
