These are my photos for femininity:

Photoshoot 1

What?

These are ‘Girl Pictures’. Altogether, Kurland published 69 pictures of girls in a series called Girl Pictures.

Who?

For my first photoshoot, I was inspired by the photographer Justine Kurland. Her work is very adventurous and displays femininity in interesting ways. Me and two of my classmates took these pictures.

When?

I took these photos during one of my photography lessons.

Where&why?

The pictures got taken outside as all her pictures are based outside too.

These are some pictures before being edited we took inspired by her:

For these two photos, we went outside and took pictures playing in the snow. This was inspires by Justine Kurland as its outside and adventurous, it explores the fun in the natural environment.

In this photo, I focussed on portraying a friendship through ‘girly’ activities.

Photoshoot 2

What?

Sherman used cinematic conventions to structure these photographs.

Who?

The next artist I was inspired by was Cindy Sherman. I also used two of my classmates for this shoot.

When?

I also did this shoot in a photography lesson.

Where&why?

For this photoshoot I focused less on ‘girlhood’ and more on beauty as that’s Sherman’s style. I did this photoshoot in the studio.

These are some pictures before being edited we took inspired by her:

For these pictures, I focused on femininity through the phrase ‘free will’, by doing normal day to day things (makeup, phones). In these pictures, you can see girly traits through, hair, style, clothes, makeup etc.
