Nimoy’s first photographic monograph, Shekhina, published in 2002, explored feminine power using models of the “classic” body type. His 2005 exhibition in New York City, Maximum Beauty, focused on our culture’s perception of beauty. Maximum Beauty examined female power of an altogether different variety - joyful images of large bodied women. These photographs revealed proud, self-confident ladies who were comfortable in their own skin and challenged society’s rigid definition of beauty. A collection of these images was published in book form and titled The Full Body Project.
