    Honorable Mention in Fine Art / Portrait

I am tired of feeling that I should hide who I am because the world is not yet ready to accept there are many of us women who do not have breasts. I want the world to be exposed to this as much as possible until we are finally accepted. My peers want to feel sorry for me but I love being this way. My surgery was preventative due to Genetic reasons but I chose to have the surgery because I wanted to be this way. Mastectomy women have less breast tissue than males and it's ok for them to be topless but not us. What if we were comfortable being that way? I want to be seen. Semi nude.

My name is Laine Allen and I am a professional photographer who specialises in family and portraiture photography. This work can be seen at: www.laphotographygc.com. I am also a travel Blogger focusing on Scotland/ Outlander work and that work can be seen at www.outlanderthroughthestones.com. When I am not photographing I am renovating my home and I can usually be found knee deep in soil!
