Dazed and Confused, One in 10

This is the spread from Dazed and Confused December 2000 issue, which has inspired my concept. The models are all women who have suffered from breast cancer, some of whom have had mastectomies. 1 in 10 (the title of the spread) is a figure describing how many women in the UK are diagnosed with breast cancer. The photographs were taken by Nick Knight and his reason for this project was to "reflect our restricted ideas of beauty and explore the sexuality of these women". For the models personally, the cancer had stripped them of their confidence, so taking photos that were dark and sexual, helped them regain some of their confidence back, making them appear beautiful and sexy as any model would be.
