"Anonymous" is a collection of glamour/art-nude pictures primarily featuring women who would otherwise be too scared to model if they could be recognized.

Sixty images, thirty-eight women, and a lot of hard work and courage.

Well done and congrats.

I'd love to hear the background story to it all.

The story

If you search for nude models in a hundred mile radius of where I live (ZIP 71104) you will find only 28 models, including the ones who are no longer modeling. Many of the non-nude models and the people I know socially had the same story, "I would love to do art-nudes but I'd be scared in case my father/pastor/boss/grand-mother saw them".

Basically in this part of the USA an art-nude model is viewed as a sex worker and would be treated as such by many.

After a while I began to ask people how they would feel about posing if their identity was hidden, face covered, tattoos photo-shopped out etc, and lots of them said they would be more than happy to do it then.

I wanted to do more than just some pictures here and there, and I wanted to give the volunteers an incentive or greater reward than just some pictures posted on the internet, so I decided to turn these images into a book.

None of the images (except the cover photo) have been posted on the internet before and each volunteer had the right to withdraw their pictures up to the time of publication (two of them did).

The end result I think is something the women should be very proud of.
