As a female practitioner I have always been interested in the perception of women within 21st century culture. I am influenced by subjects such as cosmetic surgery, pornography and issues surrounding female obesity and body image. However, I consciously choose not to become too preoccupied with the negative aspects of contemporary femininity as I feel this can often become counterproductive.
My recent body of work has been focused on the study of my female academic peers. I sought to produce images of the average woman using photographic studies taken on impulse or during informal conversations. My intention was to portray the vitality, tenacity and dignity of each sitter through my images.
