In order to develop my project further, I gathered some more inspiration from artists that I hadn’t specifically looked at in class. This way I was able to find elements in my own time that I think could link well to my project. I found one artist in particular that I knew I wanted to incorporate similar aspects and views as she does into my photobook: Ramona Wang. I found Wang’s work intriguing as she photographs women in unique ways that somehow exploit them and the representations that come with women in society, however she also challenges them by presenting women in ways that is not commonly seen in photography. For example, girls are expected to always look put together, glamourous and aesthetically pleasing for men. Wang’s work contrasts these stereotypes as she captures her models where they are presented opposingly, such as bad posture, ragged clothes and little-to-no makeup.
Evie, you must publish photoshoots and show further developments of photography project. Also publish essay plan and introduction, so we can provide feedback
