ricardo scipio's Goddess Project

Natural Beauty is Powerful and a Gift.

Look through my lens and see beauty in a new way. See women in a new way – or maybe the oldest way possible: as goddesses.

The Goddess Project is book of nude photographs of brave, beautiful women who rejoice in being themselves regardless of size, age, height - regardless of anything. It’s not about what you look like, it’s not even about what you don’t look like, it’s all about how you feel about yourself…and how you feel about life itself.

That’s what my book is about. It’s the way I see and photograph women: as goddesses. It’s what I want for every woman and for the world.

And this book isn’t just a book: it’s a mission. It’s a manifesto. It’s a beauty revolution, and the antidote to mainstream media’s impoverished and interchangeable images of female beauty.

I used to be part of that media. For ten years, I worked in New York and Toronto as a fashion photographer – and my work demanded that I promote and support a view of beauty and sexuality I never personally believed in. Super-thin teenagers with under-developed bodies and barely in touch with their own nascent womanhood were as far away from my personal version of female beauty as one can imagine. During that time, I grew a career – but I lost more than I gained.

And so I left the industry to start a revolution in pictures.

From 2002-2010, I was on a mission. I photographed 77 incredible women and trust me, it was a momentous task to select 160 of my favourite, most compelling images from thousands and thousand of pictures. These women are goddesses of all kinds: black, brown, white, young, old, thin, fat, small, tall. Some are earth mothers, others are warriors, protectors or sex-goddesses.

This book is an offering to the goddesses. It’s an offering to you, and to the goddess in you. May it help you see it, feel it, live it.

Eye Photographer

Eye Photographer


Many people think great photographs come from your eyes, I believe they come from your heart. I have a good eye for composition, texture and colour, but really I'd rather photograph what I feel than what I see. No matter what the art form, whether it's music or dance or painting or film, what stirs my soul and burns itself deeply into my memory are the things that move me, that make me feel the deepest.


It makes sense even on a scientific level since everything is energy anyways. When I look at my work or the work of others I always try to feel the energy of the piece and if I'm not feeling it I'm not impressed.


I want a photo to rock me like a Queen song or traumatized me like "12 years a slave" or make me laugh like Chris Rock does.


I photograph the things that make me feel, I think all committed artists do this. The people who only photograph football games tend to love football. War correspondents have to have a passionate conviction for witnessing and reporting on the worse human experiences and be willing to risk their lives to do so.


I love nudity and sex. I'm no war correspondent but I have endured quite a bit of punishment for choosing that subject matter.


I photograph the people who make me feel. The most important attribute I look for in a model is their energy. I don't care how beautiful your face or body may be if you have ugly or dead energy I'll run from you like a wild fire.


I remember how blown away I was when I saw my first Van Gogh painting in real life. More than a century after his death I could feel his passion and obsession in that painting- his lust for life. I hope before I die to create some art work that will have the potential to blow you away.


Can you feel me?- ricardo scipio 2014

New goddess site launched

“I just updated the site for the goddess projects and I’ve also finally gotten around to linking my custom domain. http://nycfilm.prosite.com/ still works but now you use http://ricardoscipio.ca/ to get there. Please do check it out and let me know what you think. I don’t enjoy doing website work, it hurts my brain, but until one of you volunteers to spare me from this ongoing ordeal do it I must. Hope you are having a rocking day- I am.
p.s. If you have a nude or non-nude photo you want and or need I am available for hire and will be visiting most areas of America and Canada.”
