這個患癌女孩的寫真紅遍網絡

It's easy to get caught up in beauty norms, but one teenager is breaking them down, one photo shoot at a time.

靠在社交網絡不停發美照成爲網紅非常容易，但這個少女走紅只靠一張照片！

17-year-old Andrea Sierra Salazar is currently fighting stage two cancer, but that hasn’t stopped her pursuing a career in the modelling world.

17歲的Andrea Sierra Salazar目前雖處癌症二期，但她仍堅持追求自己的模特夢。

The teenager has recently gone viral with her stunning photo campaign in which she embraces her bald head while donning a ball gown.

她身穿美麗的禮服裙、大膽接受自己因化療導致的光頭照在網上傳瘋了。

Tweeting shots from the photoshoot, Andrea said: ‘Cancer doesn’t stop me from being a princess,’ which has been shared over 90,000 times on Twitter alone.

Andrea這樣配文：“癌症不能阻止我成爲公主，”這條推文在推特上就被轉發9萬多次。

The bald beauty turned to modelling after being diagnosed with cancer as a way to distract herself from treatment and boost her confidence after losing her hair.

這位光頭少女在自己被查出患癌時就開始做模特。想通過這種方式轉移治療期間的注意力，並且給失去頭髮的自己打氣！

Andrea's mother shared her photo with modelling agencies and photographers, which is how she met Gerardo Garmendia, the photographer behind the stunning pictures.

爲完成她的夢想，她媽媽拿着她的照片給模特經紀人和攝影師看。她就是這樣遇到了拍這組絕美照片的攝影師——Gerardo Garmendia的。

Gerardo was keen to point out that it was Andrea herself who came up with the concept of a princess without a wig, an empowering message for everyone to redefine beauty.

Gerardo說，不戴假髮，把自己真實的美展現給世人，是Andrea自己的主意。

Speaking about the photoshoot in an interview with Buzzfeed, Andrea said: ‘[At first] I didn’t feel confident enough to do a version without a wig.’

不過，在Buzzfeed的採訪中，Andrea表示自己最初不戴假髮拍攝時確實有點不自信。

‘But then I realised that I had no reason to be ashamed of the way I looked, I should be proud. It's not only about my outside beauty, it's about the inside. That's what really inspired the photoshoot without the wig.’

“隨後，我意識到完全沒必要感到羞恥，反而應該爲自己能跨出這一步感到自豪。拍光頭寫真不僅傳達了我的外在美，更展示了我內心的美。正因爲如此，纔有了這些照片。”

But Andrea isn’t the first cancer fighter to turn her hand to modelling.

不過，癌症患者做模特，Andrea並不是第一人。

Just last year Dayna Christison walked in New York Fashion Week while battling stage four Nodular Sclerosis Hodgkin's Lymphoma.

去年在紐約時裝週上，正處結節性硬化霍奇金淋巴瘤四期Dayna Christison還走過T臺。

Anything is possible if you set your mind to it and these girls are a great example for everyone.

如果你決心做某事，就沒有什麼不可能。這些女孩就是最好的例子！
