Exhibition! Wanna see my latest work?
I
have created photographs that deal with our group theme of female
issues. My photographs were created from my response of the media’s
portrayal of feminine beauty. The imagery used in the media portrays
what is supposed to be the ‘ideal body’, although this ideal image of
beauty is unattainable for most females. The media shows this supposedly
perfect, idolized image of feminine beauty that often objectifies
women; it creates a powerful, negative influence on the way women view
themselves. This influenced me to create work based on stripping back
the idolized image, taking away all the added cosmetics and alterations,
to throw away the social body. The body that has become altered by
society, by images in the media, pressuring women to alter themselves,
to become that idolized image. I’m focusing on the ordinary body, the
natural, realistic, and the imperfections that make us beautiful and
unique, rather than the ‘perfect’, identical image and body that is
presented to us by models in the mass media within our society and
culture.

The Male Gaze
What are peoples thoughts on the male gaze?
I'm going to be doing a photography project based on the public's opinion of the male gaze and how women are portrayed in today's society. I know that a lot of girls feel pressured to be attractive and thin to feel comfortable or to fit in, in today's society. I've noticed a lot of negative attention in the media on how women are portrayed. Especially in adverts, especially in beer, football and car adverts, women are portrayed negatively and are seen just as objects. It is really important that I get some kind of feedback, the more feedback I get, the more work I can create for an upcoming exhibition. Please e-mail me, Emmalouiselavender@hotmail.co.uk
I need as much feedback as possible. Even if it's negetive.
Many thanks
Emma

Vibrant Speed
These photographs are a series that I produced when I was on a train. The idea is that when we are on a train we don't consider the imagery around us, we just sit on a train waiting to get from A to B. So I got on a train and took these photographs. It was quite hard as you don't have time to think, you just shoot and hope you captured the quick scene that flies past.
Please leave feedback. I want to know if they are any good. :)
Emma.
