Lipoedema Photoshoots
For Lipoedema Awareness month, we hosted a very special photoshoot for women with Lipoedema. We photographed twelve women from Victoria, ranging in age and stages of Lipoedema. Many of these women confessed they were nervous to participate as they spend their lives trying to hide their legs, with some of their partners not even seeing their bare legs for decades.
These women have bravely participated in the Lipoedema Awareness Photoshoot, despite all their fears, simply for the purpose of helping other women with Lipoedema to get better help. Our goal is to celebrate these women! In our photoshoot we aimed to provide them with a space where they could feel nurtured, safe, glamorous and beautiful – because they are! Please keep reading to learn more about these amazing women.
Rhianon: “Living with constant pain is not normal” Pauline: “You are the shape you are for a reason and not just because you’re not dieting or exercising enough”
Jane: “Be kind to yourself, this condition is not your fault – I wish someone had told me this in my early teens.” Zara: “You’re not just overweight and the diets aren’t just ‘not working’. It’s is a condition and with medical support and involvement you can live with it and prevent it from progressing.”
“If Lipoedema was well known and treated, I could have started conservative management twenty years ago and experienced the last two decades very differently. It’s important that other people never have to suffer needlessly because this condition exists in the shadows. Let’s bring it into the light where it belongs!”
