Just People

Just People Photoproject by Cornelia Schmidt. Collection of photographs of ordinary people telling their personal story. Why naked?

JUST PEOPLE

Photographer Cornelia Schmidt portrays stories in her project “Just People” about everyday people. They are all naked as far as not wearing clothing, but their passions are shinning strongly through imagery. Cornelia’s keywords are: humor, respect and incredible beautiful. The texts and photographs complement each other in telling a story about the magic of the individual, at the sam

e time as they leave a lot of space for the viewer’s reflections. Society judges us before we open our mouths by what clothing we are wearing. It is easy to make conclusions about someone seeing their clothing and accessories. Without the clothing distracting the viewer, Cornelia can go deeper and portray their story. Each person decides how much of their body they feel comfortable showing and Cornelia adjusts the poses after their wishes. A documentary about our times
The project will serve as a documentation of our lives today. Nowadays people have tattoos, solid bodies that have spent many hours at a gym or large bodies that wouldn’t go near a gym. They have colourful hairstyles, certain accessories and icons in their lives. These stories from people from all over the world with different skin colours and different cultures tell us stories about how people today live, what they feel and what values they have. Some stories portray an overwhelming emotion, like sadness and longing. Others portray a strong personal trait or passion, like music or chocolate. Cornelia humbly sees the individual and works with a complete respect for the person she is shooting. Then in her humorous and daring way she collaborates with the person and they compose an interpretation that honestly portrays the special and unique essence of the individual. Cornelia’s passion for this project will give the book energy and a life of its own. Just People is an original concept by Cornelia Schmidt. If you are interested in arranging an exhibition or to book photographer Cornelia Schmidt with this concept please let us know by sending us a message.

SCRATCH MY BACK

There’s something about a mother’s touch— the way it lingers, even when the years pass, even when the roles begin to shift.
This is a moment where care flows both ways, where the child who once needed everything now sits close, and the mother, still giving, finds comfort in the quiet exchange.
Life starts with a mother’s hands, but it doesn’t end there.
The rules can change.
The love stays.
What if we all held space for each other like this— no matter the age, no matter the story?

What if we let ourselves be both the giver and the receiver, the child and the parent, the one who needs and the one who is needed?
This is how we keep each other going.

WORLD PREMIERE
This is one of the latest pictures I have done, taken in Italy of my photographer collegue . A remarkable person that I really look up too. Deaf by birth he sees and feels the world with other senses and yes and is a humble living soul.

LISTEN DO YOUR HEART
At two years old, in Verona,
I heard the world for the first time
thanks to hearing aids.
As soon as I went outside,
I saw the cars and heard the rustle of the leaves;
every sound was a symphony I had never heard before.
My heart was beating fast with excitement: I listened to life with wide-open eyes and with my heart, discovering true freedom. Listen to your heart!
Giacomo

JUST A PORTRAIT – Workshop för fotografer

Hur skapar vi ett porträtt där människan framför kameran känner sig trygg, sedd och respekterad?

Denna heldagsworkshop med fotograf Cornelia Schmidt är inspirerad av projektet JUST PEOPLE och riktar sig till fotografer som vill fördjupa sitt porträttarbete – bortom teknik och poser.

🖤 Fokus ligger på:
– kommunikation & samtycke
– mötet mellan fotograf och modell
– nakenhet som konstnärligt uttryck, inte effekt

Du får ta del av Cornelias arbetsprocess, se live-fotografering och själv skapa ett eget porträtt genom en personlig kreativ uppgift.

📅 Lördag 4 april 2026
🕚 11.00–17.00
📍 Arkadia Foto, Partille
👥 Max 8 deltagare
💰 2 900 kr (lunch + fika ingår)

Photographing women is not just about the image.
It’s about conversation.
Silence.
Trust.
Time.

Many of the photographs in the Just Women - A woman's journey book, were created slowly — after listening, after laughter, after vulnerability.

This book holds not only faces, but moments shared between two people.
If you’re curious to follow the process and be part of the journey, you’re warmly invited.

Just Women - A Woman's journey

This is not a book about perfection.
It’s about presence.
About women being seen without performance, without roles, without expectations.
Every photograph is the result of trust, time, and listening.
This project doesn’t ask women to become something —
it asks them to simply be.

If this kind of representation speaks to you, I’d love for you to be part of it.

Women have always carried stories in their bodies.

Stories of love, loss, softness, resistance, desire.
Too often, these stories are simplified, silenced, or erased.
This photo book exists to do the opposite.
To listen. To witness. To remember.
It is a celebration of women as they are — complex, tender, powerful, human.
If you believe women’s stories deserve space, care, and visibility, I invite you to join this project. Stay tuned with us for the upcoming launch of the Just Women photobook on kickstarter.
