ULANI 

ARTISTS STATEMENT
There is often much emphasis on how one's body is perceived by others and I wanted to create a photo shoot that not only praised the human ability of attraction and appreciation of the naked figure, but also bought attention to the experience itself of enjoying being naked, despite your figure, in a purely sensory regard. Blending the often hidden aspects of human life with the everyday aspects of nature and play.
