Dove Project #ShowUs
Ten years after the launch of Dove’s Real Beauty campaign, research showed that 70% of women still didn’t see themselves represented in media and advertising. Project #ShowUs was a partnership between Dove, Getty Images and GirlGaze that created the world’s largest stock photo library to shatter beauty stereotypes —showing women as they are, not as others believe they should be. The collection includes 5,000+ photographs featuring real women from over 40+ countries across every continent in the world. Created 100% by women, using zero digital distortion.
*10% of every image licensed goes to supporting non-binary,
female and female-identifying photographers.*
