I am ME!

"Being a female in a society where fashion and media is slating and analysing body shapes in every-way possible, it's difficult for women to avoid self-hating. I myself never feel that I can relate to the models on high-glossy fashion magazines. Why not? It's all down to their choice in picking un-realistic looking females to grace the covers and editorials. Uninspiring, unrealistic, Photo manipulated girls and not representing the true female society.  Therefore, this is why I feel that woman cannot appreciate their bodies because they are constantly comparing themselves and others to the altered, re-worked models in the media.

Therefore, for my final major project, I want to photograph real women, whatever shape or size. I don't want my images to be super high-glossy fashion editorials, where body is nipped and tucked digitally. I want to capture their personalities and characteristics as I feel that I’ll be able show you the viewer to appreciate the female figure and the girl in front of the camera."

So here are my favourite images that I've already taken so far. I am super SUPER happy to be doing this. I feel so strongly about the way women feel about their bodies and feel that fashion industry needs more realistic woman!
