This Plus-Size Model Took to the Streets to Make a Statement About Body Image

Photographer and plus-size model Silvana Denker is taking her body-positive movement to the streets of Germany.

In her new photo project “Body Love,” which she launched on Instagram in October, Denker, 31, photographs women (and sometimes men) of all shapes in sizes in their skivvies — and in public. 

The idea for the project came from Denker’s experience with unfortunate photo retouching. 


I wanted to show how women look in reality, small, big, tall, little, with stretch marks, with a belly after giving birth, etc.”
