What doesn't kill you, makes you stronger. Optimism and strength are beautiful, and this girl radiates both!

Thank you for the second Daily Deviation! I never thought I'd get another!

For those who are asking, the missing nipple is a result of breast cancer. This girl contacted me the evening before the shoot and asked me to photograph her the next day because she was having the second breast removed due to breast cancer the following day.

At first, i would like to state the amazing shots you have, i can see you're an incredible artist with a beautiful eye.
Concerning this shot, its beyond outstanding, gave me instant goosebumps once i saw it.
The concept, the idea, the Impact, remarkable.
Starting with the details, usually when it's a nude picture some people prefer their model to be skinny and in a perfect figure, the fact that you didn't care about this detail makes it even more beautiful than any of those bony models.
The way she's holding her hands above her head, and her chin up makes her look proud of what she has, which is something i admire a lot.
Now the scar, the scar says it all. You can see the scar in her look, in her eyes. It's beautiful. It gives power to whoever is seeing it.
The tattoo is a perfect add to this magnificent shot, and is that a yoga pants i see?
Pure perfection.
Chapeau bas.

This is absolutely stunning. I love the bleakness of her surroundings juxtaposed with the determination on her face and the stark beauty of her body. At first, I found the lighting harsh and the pose a little wooden, but then as I really looked hard at the picture it came to me that it was intentional. The light is hiding nothing, not trying to soften flaws or lend a hazy unreality to the message. Her pose is triumphant and bold. She's not shrinking back or trying to be demure. This is Real. It depicts a reality that the model and the photographer are sharing, no frills or visual lies.
I had to readjust my thinking and let the whole feeling of the picture flow over me without judgment. Once I did that, I felt completely entranced. I really want to commend you on this photo. And I want to thank you too.

Absolutely Stunning photo!!! (some of the comments make me sick however) But I think strength is EXACTLY what is in this photo. As a relative and close friend to several woman who have gone through the ordeal of breast cancer I think that this is an empowering photo. Great Job!

This is both beautiful and heartbreaking at the same time. I can only imagine how difficult it must be to lose a part of your body to cancer, and in spite of that she seems so strong and resilient. Thank you for capturing this wonderful image.
