I reclaim my body
I reclaim my body.
When I discovered Pralad’s work, I was dazzled by the use of the female body in everyday spaces, the simplicity and beauty that arise when we show ourselves.
I admired every brave girl who appeared in his photos enjoying her own body, without ever thinking of being one of them. Back then my fears and endless insecurities didn’t let me live that process of freedom; bad experiences in my life had marked me deeply. Understanding my wounds was a never-ending journey of self-knowledge and love, but today it allows me to BE, stronger and stronger, wiser and wiser, more and more connected with my body and with the universe.
Today, with every click of the shutter I banish the pain, I give it meaning and I reclaim my body, which has been taken from me so many times.
With every click of the shutter my body gains power, my soul shows itself and the wounds heal.

Posing for Pralad is always an adventure… Being naked I feel completely free, showing my body as it is, with all its imperfections, each of which I love more and more every day…
Experiencing company in every photo is magical; feeling and seeing how two bodies align for a one-second capture is a dream…
It makes you want to keep posing and keep looking for new little corners to keep experimenting and discover what beauty will be captured…
