What I want to explore:

My intent with this project is to explore the female identity and how social media has had an impact on girls growing up. I am going to present all different aspects of female identities throughout my work. I would like to focus on how social media has impacted girls’ lives through showing the development in my photoshoots, for example, photos of girls “before” social media, how it has had an impact on girls and the present.

Why it matters to me:

This topic matters to me as I believe that social media has had the biggest impact on females and society as a whole. I feel deeply around the changes of femininity throughout the years and the evolution of the media within the changes of beauty standards nowadays.

How I wish to develop my project:

I would like to develop my project by analysing the artists Justine Kurland and Francesca Miller-Hard as they explore contrasting ideas around feminism. In my opinion, I feel like Kurland explores

Which form I wish to present my study (photobook, film, prints etc):

I wish to present my study in a photobook, as I feel that will present a clear understanding of the development of females through the impact of social media, which I would like to produce.

When and where I intend to begin your study:

I intend to begin my study through a photoshoot with the inspiration of Justine Kurland, as I would like to present ideas around femininity before social media. For this photoshoot, I will be using a forest as the setting, with a few girls as my subjects. As I continue working on my photoshoots, I will develop ideas around how social media has impacted girls in this society, and present this through photos.
