Photographer, Justin Bartels, examines the repercussions of poor self image and dressing to impress in his Impression series. When it comes to women, society is constantly trying sell them a “better You”, a more “beautiful You” that you can be happy with, as oppose to selling them self love and appreciation. Bartels incriminates not the women, but the practices of a society that fails to see that its actions leave a lasting impression.
