I went into the studio to complete my androgyny self-portrait shoot and ended up with about 89 images.

 After picking and editing my favourite images, I had narrowed it down to around 50 images.

Analysis of an image from this shoot:

I really like the set of images this image comes from – the lighting is in the correct place, slightly shadowing half of my body and face, I like the contrast between the brightness of the right side of the image and the slightly shadowed left side of the image. The colouring of the image also fits in with the term “androgyny” which was my aim, I think that the neutral tones (e.g. black and grey) really solidify the idea of androgyny that I wanted to follow. When I see this image, I immediately can see how confident I seem in it, I’m stood in quite a confident position with my head held high. Personally, I think that this image could link to Claude Cahun’s work in expressing her androgynous identity, especially since, like she has in a lot of her work, I have quite a blank expression
