As She Pleases

This project explores the topic of feminism and gender roles for females. I decided to make black and white self-portraits that resemble movie film stills where I take on the role of both the subject and the photographer. The aim of this project is to move away from the stereotypical way of looking at women and their roles in the society. In this project I explore different film narratives and inhibit a persona inspired by female film characters that represent freedom and independence. I was also exploring this kind of in-between-state of an image also known as the ‘intermedia’ where film and photography work together as one.
