This time last year I started a project to help raise awareness of Autism. Why? My youngest son was diagnosed just after his 4th birthday as having Autism (he just turned 6). So Sexy Backs is a photographic project to help raise awareness of Autism Spectrum Disorders. The concept for “Sexy Backs” is to produce simple Black & White portraits, showing naked backs, something we all have, something that is cheeky, fun, and where sex, age, race, or autism was irrelevant.
The image above is of Shana, a mum, Tyler’s mum, and my wife! The first Sexy Backs photo! The project is really just about awareness, inspiring those who see our images, or read the text, to learn more about Autism! We want you to tell others about Sexy Backs, and to support those on the Autistic Spectrum.
Please take the time to read the information and to look at the images on this site. And, if you want to be involved, please let us know! Please email us at info@sexybacks.org
I really want to thank all those very special people who have already posed for us and have made the project what it is, and what it will be! Without these wonderful people supporting the project, it would be nothing. Friends, family, colleagues, models, we honestly can’t thank you enough.
Please email us, keep in contact. As the project develops we want to hear from all those wanting to pose, men and women. Its a pity that not everyone can be, but please get in contact!
