The photoshoot is a video series of portraits photographed by the famous Vanity Fair  Photographer Patrick Ecclesine.

The 23yrs old American singer also shared personal struggle with self-esteem and eating disorder in the past.

"I thought there was something incredible about the idea of no makeup whatsoever, no clothes and no retouching. I would have never thought I would have ever gotten to a place in my life where I would have been comfortable doing that. It's empowering, and it shows other women that you can get to a place where you can overcome the obstacles of body image issues, and you can feel comfortable and confident in your skin.”

"In the past I suffered from eating disorders, and I basically went from hating every single inch of my body to working on myself, and trying to figure out ways to love myself, love the skin that I'm in. I learned, after working very hard on my spirituality and my soul”

The photoshoot prompted many supportive tweets by fans under the hashtag #WeAreProudofYouDemi.

Lovato's 'Confident'  album release is dated for Oct. 16.
