Leonard Nimoy’s Full Body Project
What’s Leonard Nimoy (a.k.a “Spock”) up to nowadays? Photography, that’s what. Not only photography, but photography of voluptuous, nude women for his Full Body Project. The project is a reaction to society’s unrealistic, frustrating, and cruel ideals about women’s body shapes and sizes.
Nimoy’s work is actually quite good. He has been compared to past famous nude artistic photographers, yet his take is unique. And the fact that he is a celebrity means that any statements he wishes to convey will be heard.
No surpise that it would be Spock to conceive of something so logical! There have been other, similar projects in recent years, photographing heavier and realistic women and men. Keep it up folks! Body acceptance is a beautiful thing!
