ARTISTS STATEMENT
I've always been attracted to the reality of what women look and act like, which seems diametrically opposed to the superficial ideals our society often portrays. This project finally gave me the freedom and control to shoot me as me. The results were suprising and although I initially started hesitantly, I was soon in a shooting frenzy. "It's me! The real me!" I became more free and experimental and saw my body in new and positive ways. I loathe society's rules about what is and isn't appropriate, very seldom wear clothes when I'm at home and in the past have lost jobs for 'dressing inappropriately'. Who gets to decide that? I do for myself as far as I'm concerned! I would urge anyone and everyone to shoot themselves. It's empowering, creative and loads of fun. I hope to contribute more folios in the future, as diverse and daring as possible.
