I chose to photograph a feminism theme. I want to use objects that represent the female gender such as make up, shoes, dresses, etc. I want to use bright lighting to capture the colors of my work. I also want to use a shallow depth of field for some images to be able to really focus on the feminist objects in the composition.
For my artist to research, I chose Prue Stent who is a 21 year old Melbourne based photographer. She is a feminist photographer which relates to my theme. The aspect that most inspired me about Prue was her usage of the color pink. She uses pink in her photographs to resemble femininity and to connect all her photos together. Regardless of the content of the photo, the color pink always sticks out as the first thing you see. She uses different medias to create the color; for example in the pictures below, she uses pink colored water, pink paint, and pink nail polish. The different shades and mediums of pinks gives each photo a unique perspective but still help it resonate with the feminine theme. Prue's images are also very simplistic, which I like. I think it makes for a powerful image when there isn't much going on but instead there is one strong focal point. The photos I like most of Prue's are the close ups (the ones I selected below). She also does photos of women and body parts but I think the up close pictures resonate with me more.
