Are you ready to dive deep into the powerful intersection of photography and representation? Whether you're a self-portrait artist, portraitist, or fashion photographer, understanding the role of the female body in your images is key to creating meaningful, impactful work that honors the complexities of identity and representation.
Together, we’ll trace the evolution of how women’s bodies have been portrayed in photography—from the early days of fashion and fine art imagery to today’s socially conscious and diverse media.
As we engage in lively discussions and hands-on creative work, you’ll develop your own personal project that digs deep into these themes, giving you the tools and confidence to create art that resonates and challenges conventions. Let’s reimagine the narrative—one image at a time!
