‘GORDA FLOR’ is a body positive, fat empowerment editorial series by Salvador-based photographer Helen Mozão. You’ve probably seen her kick-ass photography here or on our social media platforms, she’s awesome. Like many of her other series’, this one is all about promoting an under-represented image of black beauty. ’GORDA FLOR’ was shot on location in the beautiful Santo Antonio neighborhood of Salvador, known by locals for its beautiful scenery.
