Fashion Photographer Celebrates Curvaceous Women With Over $40,000 Worth Book Publication

A fashion photographer is hoping to change the way that society views curvaceous women after raising more than $40,000 in just one month to fund the publication of a book featuring a series of images which celebrate fuller-figured women. 

New Yorker Victoria Janashvili, the woman behind coffee table book Curves, has had her work featured by the likes of GQ, Maxim, Esquire and Cosmopolitan, but insists that her 'personal projects' have always aimed to highlight the beauty of women with more normal bodies, rather than the slim models often pictured in the pages of magazines.

At the start of 2015, the photographer raised a total of $40,072 dollars on Kickstarter in order to fund the publication of the 140-page book, noting on her page that her 'personal projects have always been aimed to portray a healthy and more relatable model'.

'When we reached our goal, I could not believe it. I had to triple-check,' Ms Janashvili told the New York Post. 

Instead of enjoying a planned trip to Bali that January, the photographer canceled her vacation and began working on the project. She spent three months shooting 70 women, including her crew and herself.

Ms Janashvili told the outlet that she photographed herself last and wasn't sure if the pictured would be included in the book until the end.
