Mariah – Epidermis “[It] caused me constant physical and mental pain. It was completely unbearable. But I wouldn’t change it as it has made me so much more confident and strong.” – Mariah

Harris-Taylor retrató a 20 mujeres del Reino Unido que padecen algunas de las enfermedades de la piel más comunes. De esta forma, busca celebrar el poder de la diversidad, luchando contra la presión de tener una piel perfecta y la depresión de varias al no conseguirla. La fotógrafa se inspiró en el acné severo que sufrió durante su adolescencia y cómo afectó a su autoestima. “Desearía haberme dado cuenta de que no estaba sola y hablar de ello más abiertamente porque cuanto menos lo hacemos, menos normalizado está”, explicó Sophie.

With the show closing today @theprintspace I thought it’d be nice to share one of my last shoots I did for epidermis. I got to meet the most beautiful & incredible @abis_acne she’s an inspiration to us all. “I stopped taking opportunities because I felt I could amount to nothing because my skin looked a certain way. I have grown so much over the years and these thoughts and beliefs subsided. I have grown so much with my confidence and I couldn't be happier.” – Abi

This is beautiful Lex who I’d been following for a while, her story has brought so much awareness to rosacea across the world & helped so many others. Thank you @talontedlex for your honesty, opening the conversation & for being part of Epidermis. "Being diagnosed with an incurable skin condition at a young age had an enormous impact on me. I felt like I had no control over my appearance, my self-confidence was destroyed, and I felt fearful of my future." – Lex The shows opening this Thursday @theprintspace & kindly bring sponsored by @biodermauk – if your in London pop down & say hello x

“ I prefer not wearing makeup and letting my skin breathe. When I was younger I would never leave without wearing makeup. I can’t remember the point when I stopped caring but now I’ll happily wander about without it. In the evenings if I go out, I like the transformational element of wearing makeup. I’ve moved away from using makeup as a way of covering up my skin but see it as more of an artistic venture.” – Annie
