For our culminating project Sarah and I are creating a documentary about body image.
We are going around asking women a set of questions to see how they really view themselves.
While out trying to find people to film we stumbled upon a roadblock: no one seems to want to be on video

All of the women were hesitant and shy about speaking about their bodies, how they viewed their bodies and especially if they thought they were beautiful! The funny thing, it that these women are insecure.. about being insecure. So this point raises and interesting question: why are we all so embarrassed of ourselves?
Most of the women were fine with answering questions but as soon as we brought up the fact that they were being filmed, all of them became shy and embarrassed, many even said they were too ugly to be on camera! 
That is what made us even more passionate about doing this documentary, we really wanted to show people how little self confidence women have, in hopes we can all be kinder.
Even the models we see in magazines wish they could look like their own images.
