my current portrait series, women, examines the representation of women and the female gaze. with this work, i challenge learned behaviors and how the women are perceived. i wanted to create images that are visually compelling in collaboration with each person, with each image made according to their style, aesthetic, and direction. to create with them and less of them.
this is continued outside the studio in my next work, shift |
