NSFW Photo Series Explores The Beauty Of Female Body From A Never-Seen-Before Perspective
Professional photographer Roger Weiss was finding himself increasingly disassociating with the photographs depicting women, so he set out to capture the natural beauty of a female form in a different way.
Inspired by Kintsugi, a Japanese method for repairing broken things by filling gold in the cracks, Weiss' photo series called “Human Dilatations” features 250 unifying photographs that show how the female body is fragmented and then reassembled. Each of the interesting photos in the series captures a nude body that is slightly dilated and distorted, resulting in a detailed and never-before-seen analysis of every part of the female body. The whole series explores new perspectives of female beauty and the beauty of a naked body.

b******t all i see is young women where are the 40+ women? what too old to show the body? older women are not pretty? all this is just more double standard b******t.
What are you talking about double standards? The guy's a photographer, he's not setting standards - double or otherwise. If you want to see photos of 40+ women, I suggest you either Google it or go take some photos yourself!!
Load More Replies...the photographer creates tons of images of smaller parts of the body with different lenses and from different angles and then puts them together to creat the whole body again :)

This "Never-Seen-Before Perspective" is somewhat old hat. Bill Brandt did it 60-70 years ago and Mann Ray before that.
Except that Brandt and Ray did it well. These are simply fugly...
Load More Replies...They are real, it is just the lens that is used
Load More Replies..."NSFW Photo Series Explores The Beauty Of Female Body From A Never-Seen-Before Perspective" learn to read and not judge women for choices they make concerning their own bodies, bucko.
Load More Replies...Who cares if she has had a boob job!? It doesn't say anything about the women being all "natural" and she's still every bit a woman so what's your point!?
It is about distorted proportions. Maybe the photographer likes feet...or doesn't...idk if the distortions are supposed to represent positive or negative reactions
Load More Replies...Yes, it is "Art." Art, in it's most basic definition, is a visual representation of ideas or feelings developed with imagination and skill. Just because it doesn't appeal to you, doesn't mean it's not art.
Load More Replies..."I mean, you could have pointed that out while were on the ground, but this is fun too."
Load More Replies...Dude, seriously, nobody gives a flying f**k. You're probably just a troll trying to get a reaction, even then nobody cares. The way you're commenting about these women is very insulting. If you don't fecking like it don't fecking look at it you imbecile. Seriously. Grow up and grow a pair.
Load More Replies...It seems like most of these are distorted to make them appear taller. I wonder why...
its used as points of reference, since the photographer has taken many images at once its made a lot easier to stitch it all back together again, same principle is used in motion tracking (kinda)
Load More Replies...why use an grapefruit if her real vagina is right above it! I wish it was more acceptable to show vaginas
It makes me think of maturing, including menstruation.
Load More Replies...I dont know how to feel about seeing women like this. Was very disempowering to see being a female. Awkward uncomfortable. Made the female species look ugly in such a beauty defined world. Thanks for the betrayal.
It's unnatural, even more unnatural than a heavily edited fashion shoot. I wonder if the choice to shoot nude was for taboo only
Load More Replies...The photographer has only succeeded in taking the beautiful female form and distorting it into something inhuman and hideous. It is not art, it's an amateurish manipulation of images that make no sense with regard to the "beauty of the female body". Fail!
Agreed. It seems to objectify rather than beautify. The shooter managed to hide all their faces, kind of a let down
Load More Replies...Sorry ... But those women are so pretty and you made them so ugly in those pictures... At least that's what i am thinking
Beautiful work. Yes the angle is extremely difficult in terms of flattering the human form, but thats not really a bad thing. Love the work and its reactions. I also have drawn and studied the human form for years now so i guess i simply do not get uncomfortable.
I guess the point is to try to teach that beauty does not matter, and that while these distorted portraits and unflattering, that's exactly the point. It's not beautiful, it's not normal looking. Plus, you know that these women are probably really beautiful, you're just not seeing the right angle. I suppose, they're trying to teach new angles of beauty, all the angles are beautiful - and so, nothing needs to be beautiful, because it already is. Basically, that it doesn't need to be flattering, and that we should stop rejecting the typical photos we see of women (face on, make-up on, trying to look appealing), of women trying to make themselves the normal way of beautiful, rather than just being themselves through and through to every aspect (from every angle), themselves.
