Ponch Hawkes emphasizes that her experience of posing nude first serves as a practical measure for lighting but also as a solidarity act with the women she photographs.
Many women who participated were deeply self-conscious about their bodies, yet felt a strong desire to shake off that shame and embrace their nudity.
Jane Scott recalls experiences with participants who revealed secrets of shame, like their husbands not having seen their bodies in years, highlighting the prevalence of body insecurity.
Despite the confronting nature of the sessions, Jane Scott noted that not a single participant left during the shoots, showing the power of the shared experience.
