20: Combating Anti-Fat Bias with Stock Photos - Lindley Ashline
Lindley Ashline's (she/her) body liberation photography is revolutionizing the way we see bodies in media and stock photos. Lindley is changing the way we see fat and other marginalized bodies. She rejects the concept that fat people are only beautiful when their bodies look as close as possible to thin people's. Lindley fights weight stigma by giving fat people space and a safe place to explore how their bodies look on camera and by increasing representation of marginalized bodies in photography, advertising, fine art, and the world at large.
We discuss how her photography and work challenges societal norms, conventional "beauty" standards, and oppressive systems (anti-fat bias, racism, ableism, healthism, ageism).She offers free journal prompts, a blog, weekly body liberation guide, body positive and inclusive stock photos, holds body liberation photography sessions, fine art..and so much more. Enjoy this week's episode!
