This Is Me is a new book created by women, for women. A book which will move and inspire them. It began when photographer Julie Adams asked women and their children to come into her studio – which was always set up by the beach in surf clubs and pavilions – and be photographed in their swimsuits. The idea? To celebrate the female body, individuality and self-love. None of the images Julie has captured in this book have been retouched. They’re raw, real and most importantly, relatable. It’s not easy stepping into a photographic studio and putting yourself in the spotlight. It’s confronting and it takes courage. Yet hundreds of women did exactly this.
