As a young teenager, being flat-chested bothered me a lot. Mainly because I used to get teased, by boys and girls alike, for having little to nothing up front; my boyish shape was apparently not ‘normal’ or attractive to either sex. I wasn’t a storm in a B-cup, let alone an A-cup – and I cannot even begin to describe my hysterical joy when I managed to get my hands on a Wonderbra at around age sixteen. (Excitement city as I went from flat plain to small hillock.)
It wasn’t until my early twenties that I really started to become comfortable with my lack of chest but while I would like to say that my acceptance of my body shape was largely down to my own sense of self and growing maturity, I really have to credit my change in attitude to a handful of wonderful partners, including M (despite him being a self-confessed ‘boob man’), who were unfailingly positive about my body’s landscape – to borrow a line from Bridget Jones – just as it was.
So this picture is an homage to that cliched phrase that I’m sure all of us small-chested girls have heard at one time or another, ‘Anything more than a handful’s a waste’. Or in this case, ‘anything more than a camera …’.

I love this so hard. This is a totally amazing image and message. (personally, I’ve always wanted to be built more like you!)
Aw, thank you.
(I think it’s a given that we always want the opposite of what we have!)
Ohhh I love a nice camera on someone sexy…this is gorgeous!

Favourite image by far, so far today. Acceptance isn’t easy, and it’s something I struggle with alot, but the strength conveyed in this photo is almost palpable.

This is a beautiful pic. And you are a tease.
Gorgeous photo!
I have been as flat chested as you until halfway through my 20′s when I had to take hormones. I gained weight, lost most of it again but thankfully my breast stayed. From an AA cup I went up to a A and now even wear a B, but I am overweight. One thing with small breast… they never hang. I still cannot trap a pencil under my boobs and I am going on 50!

That’s a great image! And a small chest is definitely an advantage with age, as Rebel pointed out.

I hear you sister!! During my formative years I was an A cup, then gained weight which took me to a C cup, lost weight back down to a B cup, gained weight again and back up again to a C cup currently.
You know what though, despite all the above, mine are still surprisingly perky and don’t hang too much! Yeah for little titties!!!
Fabulous image and love that you have done it in B&W.

I don’t think I have ever worn a A cup…. one day they was nothing and then boobs! Despite all my body issues my boobs are really one of my absolute favourite parts of me. Despite feeding two babies and having a period of time being very over weight I think they are still a nice sharp and fairly perky. If I could change them at all it would be to have the left the same size as the right but to be honest it doesn’t really bother me that much.
I LOVE your words here and this shot. I think showing all different representations of the female shape is so important in this day of age of the ‘perfect’ body.
I don’t know if you know about boobday but I know that Hyacinth would love to have some ‘small’ boobs as part of her meme.
Oh and as a bi-sexual woman, I am ALL about the small breast!

Wonderful picture as always – such a talent!

I love the personal story about your trials when you were growing up. I would never go back to the time of junior or high school, adolescent girls and boys can be so cruel.
Simple and well composed. Tells a story as well.
i had a gay friend give me a massage once (it was to return the favor since i had just given him one)
he is find on my back and ass but wants me to flip over and he litterally pokes my boob and goes…
i dont know what to do with it!! O.o
funnies thing that has ever happen in my life
on the other hand… i like nipples.. men’s women’s mine… whoever
the rest of the breast isnt always that important to me
so… umm.. hi there
gahhh dammit now i wanna play with nipples and my boyfriend isnt into that
*whimpers*
gahhh random streaming of consciousness is bad!

your picture is wonderful, light play is fantastic, so many would be envious of the androgyny
you are beautiful
don’t doubt yourself
The human form is amazing and a lot of that is due to us all being different. This picture is beautiful. I hope that you are happy with your beautiful body and have left the bullies way behind.
If we were all the same, life would be pretty boring.
I can’t say I am a massive boob-lover, or not; there are benefits to all sizes. I think i am happy just to get my hands near them, irrespective of the size.
I used to be the same size as you until I had kids, then it changed. I am not so big now but I enjoy the size I am and would not have it any other way.
Simple and elegant. Thank you for sharing.
Luv that you are so versatile . Luv that a pic that shows so much hides so much
The image is delightful, playful, sexy. Just don’t hold it against me that I shoot with Nikon . . .
I was at the other end of the scale and was also tease. I even had tissues throw at me and stories made up about tissues falling out of my bra in the locker room.
I love this image. You are very beautiful!
Soooo love this…the picture and your words. Beautiful, empowering…and, as a small-breasted woman, I can so relate.
