Jennifer Rozenbaum, a boudoir photographer who had spent her life capturing the bodies of women from behind the camera, was just 41 years old when she turned the camera on herself and took a topless selfie, only to find a shadow that looked out of place. That shadow turned out to be invasive stage 2B breast cancer. ⁠ ⁠ As a photographer she turned to before and after photos to help her during her breast cancer journey. ⁠ ⁠ "It was really hard to find anything. I was looking for before and after pictures, and there wasn't much out there. A lot of before and after pictures were scary, very medical,” said Rozenbaum. "They were not lifestyle pictures. And it was frightening. I had no idea what I was getting into." ⁠ ⁠ Now, several years post-mastectomy, Rozenbaum’s life has changed in more ways than one. What started out as boudoir photography, has now become a passion project and career to help normalize cancer bodies in all stages and forms. ⁠ ⁠ According to Rozenbaum, she’s now shooting the type of pictures she wished she'd had in the early days of her breast cancer journey. ⁠ ⁠ Learn more about Rozenbaum’s breast reconstruction journey at the 🔗 link in our bio.
