Australian Photography

Amanda Thorson is a Canberra-based artist and photographer whose work celebrates our differences, and challenges the way we perceive our bodies. Amanda believes in the idea that photographers can either contribute to or fight against the lie of the ‘ideal’ body’.

Amanda wanted to photograph women in an environment where it wasn’t weird for them to be naked. Women In Bathrooms was a project Amanda began in 2018, photographing women in their own bathrooms, going about their own daily routines of self-care.

There Is No Normal is the outcome of these efforts—a printed editorial publication that is so much more than a coffee table book.
