Redefining Beauty | San Joaquin Magazine | Shannon Lea Rock

A Photographer's Passion Project: Changing the definition of beauty.

I can’t express how amazingly excited I am to announce being the cover story for a local publication, San Joaquin Magazine. Early this year they got wind of a project I was announcing to “Redefine Beauty” a project that glorifies our differences rather than tells us that weight or scars or age, whatever doesn’t make us beautiful. This project was ignited by a friend and local artist - Tara - who had BII and had a double mastectomy. You can read her story here.

Please take a moment to read my story along with the stories of these 4 courageous and incredible women.

Ladies, I love you. Thank you for being a part of this. Your beauty and vulnerability have captivated me, I am honored to have been a part of your story.

**This issue will be available in print on January 3, 2020.

I will am continually looking to uplift and showcase the beauty in our differences. I want to raise awareness and change the face of beauty in this world. Let's break beauty barriers together. Please email me at shannon@preservestudio.com for more information.
