Overview

Shoog McDaniel is a fat, queer, and disabled photographer working in and around northern Florida’s vast network of freshwater springs. For over a decade, Shoog’s photographs have transformed the way fat people view themselves and how a fat-phobic society views their bodies. Bringing Shoog’s photography to life, director Sasha Wortzel immerses audiences in a world of fat beauty and liberation, one in which marginalized bodies—including bodies of water—are sacred.
