In an age of body positivity, it can be easy to forget that society’s beauty standards haven’t only stigmatized individuals of varying sizes, it’s completely ignored individuals with varying abilities. The “How You See, See How You Change” is a direct rejection of the idea that only certain individuals can be beautiful.

This exhibition is for anyone who wants to learn about, and celebrate, diversity through photography.

About Positive Exposure:

In the early days of his career, Rick Guidotti, an award-winning photographer, worked with high-profile clients like Yves St Laurent, Revlon, L’Oreal, and publications like Elle, GQ, and Harper’s Bazzar.

An encounter with a woman with albinism in New York City back in 1997 sparked an interest.

On the Positive Exposure website, he “sought out medical textbooks, where he was affronted by the dehumanizing images depicting disease, lacking all humanity.”

A year later he launched Positive Exposure was launched via a five-page spread in LIFE Magazine titled "‘Redefining Beauty.'“ “The photographic essay featured people with albinism and powerful quotes addressing stigma, discrimination, prejudice, hatred and exclusion simply because of a physical difference.”

For the last 25 years Guidotti has been working with advocacy organizations, medical schools, universities and education insitutions, such as Creighton, to change societal attitudes towards individuals with living with genetic, physical, behavioral or intellectual difference.”
