Girls Abby Winters — Yarra

The site became a pioneer for body positivity before the term was mainstream, featuring women of all shapes, sizes, and ages. Who are the "Yarra Girls"?

What set them apart was the ethos of the shoot. There were no directors barking orders. No forced, pained expressions of fake ecstasy. Instead, the atmosphere was collaborative and comfortable. The models were encouraged to move at their own pace, to laugh, to be awkward, and to direct the action. Many shoots involved the models choosing the music, picking out their own outfits (often just their own underwear or a favorite t-shirt), and deciding what felt good. yarra girls abby winters
