Instagram is a mobile, desktop, and Internet-based photo-sharing application and service that allows users to share pictures and videos either publicly, or privately to pre-approved followers.

As the focus of women in the 1970’s has always been of interest to me and the women’s right movements i actually follow a few accounts on Instagram which regularly post images f women during the feminist protests in the 70’s aswell as how women where presented through images. There is also one account which posts images of females which are inspired by the 1970’s and the movements that occurred during this period. As this is extremely similar to the project which i am doing i managed to gain a huge amount of inspiration, which helped me too plan my next few shoots and give me ideas of the ways that i could present feminism and the decade i am focusing on. Below are some screenshots of my saved folder on Instagram which is where you can save certain images which you would like to revisit or have in a collection.

A lot of the photographs are head shots or face on shots of women looking into the camera with strong facial expression and expressing themselves as strong independent women who have broken away from the stereotypical idea of the ‘Stay at home mum’. There a big mix of styles of images in my inspiration collection, varying from documentary street photography to studio work, too capturing women in their natural locations such as there homes. These are all different styles which i would like to capture through my photography as i would like to show a diverse range of images which show young women in the present day as well as imitating the way women where presented in the 1970’s
