Some of the pop culture influences in The Beth Project. #laurelandhardy #fridakahlo #friedakahlo #thebethproject @shredridinghood

2 години по-рано и с близо 70 килограма по-тежка,  Beth Beard е на ръба на отчаянието. Както и на операция за поставяне на стомашен байпас. Но нейният приятел фотографът Blake Morrow я насърчава да се бори за здравето и щастието си. Както и да не забравя какво чувство за хумор и желание за живот притежава.

Двамата създават The Beth Project. В началото заснемат серия потрети на Бет „преди“. А едва две години по-късно –  портретите „след“. Събират ги с помощта на Photoshop, за да създадат илюзията за „клонираната“ щастливка, успяла в борбата си.

Но с едно изискване от Бет – изображенията на тялото ѝ да не бъдат обработвани, за да отразява действителното ѝ състояние преди и сега и да служат за вдъхновение на всички, които имат нужда от насърчение и подкрепа.

Забавната фотосесия преди/след на жена със силна воля и… чувство за хумор

Thanks so much for the coverage, #DesignTaxi ! This is the same person… The Beth Project: Photographer and digital artist Morrow created a series of pop culture-inspired portraits of his friend Beth, celebrating, in a playful way, her significant weight loss of 150 pounds. Morrow photographed Beth posing as two characters, her “Before” and “After” selves two years apart, and seamlessly integrated them so they appear to interact with each other within each scene. To properly communicate and celebrate Beth’s accomplishment, her body has not been digitally altered in any way. @ContactPhoto @shredridinghood @vistek #thebethproject #contact2015 #instagram #weightloss #beforeandafter #transformation @photoshop @instagram #blakeportfolio
