A Queensland woman’s breast cancer awareness photo shoot went viral after people complained to Facebook about it.
Beth Whaanga, from Queensland, Australia, is a self-proclaimed "breast cancer preventer". After having multiple surgeries to clear her body of cancer, she teamed up with photographer Nadia Masot for a photo series called "Under the Red Dress".

"Each day we walk past people. These individuals appear normal but under their clothing sometimes their bodies tell a different story," she wrote.

Regarding the photo shoot, she said, "At first it was confronting but after a little while rather empowering. A good experience, my scars are not ugly they mean I'm alive."
