"Australian model Meaghan Kausman recently starred in an underwater photo shoot for swimwear company Fella Swim and was shocked to find they drastically retouched her photos [via  Page Six].  Kausman, who is the daughter of prominent body-image campaigner Dr. Rick Kausman, posted the before and after photos on her Instagram. She captioned them:  \uFEFFMaking art is my passion. Creating beautiful photos and meeting inspiring people has really given me a new lease on life. I recently did a photoshoot wearing Fella Swim, with an extremely passionate and talented underwater photographer, Pip,@seagypsea_photography Her photos are magical; they capture women in water and celebrate their beauty. This morning I was extremely shocked to see that Fella Swim had uploaded a photoshopped version of Pip&amp;#039;s original photo to their Instagram page. They had drastically altered my body, thinning out my stomach and thighs in an attempt to box me in to the cultural ideal of beauty. Above is their version, below is the real version. My body is a size 8, not a size 4. That&amp;#039;s my body! I refuse to stand by and allow ANY company or person to perpetuate the belief that &amp;quot;thinner is better&amp;quot;. All women are beautiful, and we come in different shapes and sizes! This industry is crazy!!!! It is NOT OKAY to alter a woman&amp;#039;s body to make it look thinner. EVER!
