Solo Art Exhibitions

Artist Statement

My project is for the female gaze and is the embodiment of the female gaze, because I am a woman and my models were collaboratively working alongside me throughout the entire process, doing poses they were comfortable with and providing feedback. Photos in the fashion industry are taken primarily by men, and my photos reclaim ownership of the female body, return the power to the female gaze and to raw femininity in various forms, and provide women with a place where they feel heard, seen, safe, and powerful. Women have complete control over their own bodies and are able to show as little or as much as they want and never give anyone the invitation to objectify them or exude power over them just because they are existing the way they want to. 

By not being predatory or objectifying, my photos change the narrative of women in the media and in fashion photography, because they represent a freedom of expression, of body, and of self for women. By returning control and voice to all women, I deconstruct vintage beliefs still at play today, both inspiring and informing viewers of the women that they may be themselves or may know in their lives.
