Breathtaking: Many people have commented how beautiful each of the images in the book are

A fashion photographer is hoping to change the way that society views curvaceous women after raising more than $40,000 in just one month to fund the publication of a book featuring a series of images which celebrate fuller-figured women.

New Yorker Victoria Janashvili, the woman behind coffee table book Curves, has had her work featured by the likes of GQ, Maxim, Esquire and Cosmopolitan, but insists that her 'personal projects' have always aimed to highlight the beauty of women with more normal bodies, rather than the slim models often pictured in the pages of magazines.

At the start of 2015, the photographer raised a total of $40,072 dollars on Kickstarter in order to fund the publication of the 140-page book, noting on her page that her 'personal projects have always been aimed to portray a healthy and more relatable model'. See more photos from the book below....
