Ashley Graham poses nude on magazine cover

Not everyone dares: Ashley Graham poses completely naked for “Perfect Magazine”. With the message “perfect just the way you are” she posts pictures of the photo shoot that shows her body with cellulite and stretch marks. Completely naked, she models lying down for the camera and proudly presents her body. Sometimes from the front, sometimes from behind and sometimes sitting and with visible belly fat – Graham shows himself in every pose. She deliberately avoids the obligatory portion of Photoshop to make her skin and facial features a little smoother, as the last picture in her photo series on Instagram confirms. There, the model inserts an exchange of messages in which she explicitly speaks out against retouching: “Personally, I think that’s the best decision. The photos look great and speak for themselves…”

This is how Ashley Graham inspires her fans

With the honest pictures, the mother of three ensures the well-being of her followers. Ashley Graham’s unretouched nude photos garnered over 580,000 likes within hours. Many of her almost 19 million fans also thank the 34-year-old and comment on the post with words like “Thank you for making me feel normal”. Another user writes: “An inspiration for all mothers”. With her (im)perfect photos, Ashley Graham makes a clear statement for which she is celebrated.

Neither filters and Photoshop

Ashley Graham brings normality and naturalness to the social media platforms. For years she has been taking her fans through her life and not only sharing perfect moments. Instead of perfect make-up and a well-trained six-pack, she presents herself with a few kilos more and unmade hair on the net. Hair loss and stretch marks after her pregnancy are also not taboo for Ashley Graham. With her large Instagram reach, she wants to have a positive effect on her users and show that every body is unique.

The model shows his pregnancy unadorned

She has three children with husband Justin Ervin, 30. Especially during her two pregnancies, Ashley Graham shared openly her struggles and the changes in her body that followed, and encourages other women.
