Growing up my father was an amateur bodybuilder.
To him body image was life, every inch of his body he would examine. As a kid I was over weight and when I was around 12 my father started making me workout with him, it was crazy to me that I literally change the body I was trapped in.
Today I'm a student athlete at LSU and the obsession my father once had for body image I now share. As an athlete your body tells a story of who you are, your sport, position. The star center basketball player, and the best football kicker will not have the same type of body.
I love looking at body image photography, it's a story of what is important to you. I see a perfect chest and I imagine every push up and bench press this person as gone through to get this. Muscles, scars, fat; a story of work, focus and the perfections and imperfections that make every body image so interesting and beautiful to see.
