So I have decided to change my body of work. I haven't felt very strongly about the current body of work I have been working on; the nostalgic journey to the beginning of my educational career. About a week ago I was inspired by an online article about a photographer who documents the age in women. So with this new body of work, I'd like to document the scrutiny of women and the process women go through to appear attractive to the public eye. Even though the nostalgic body of work is more personal, I feel like the fact that I'm dwelling on the past is holding me back from being able to work on my potential. I feel very strongly about my new concept and so I've begun a new series. I'll likely come back to the old series but now, my new body of work is speaking out to me to capture it.
Luigi Ghirri was an Italian photographer who was active in the later half of the last century. I was drawn to his skill of capturing color in a natural state in a very dead on perspective. He uses textures and shapes in the landscape to capture his surroundings in an incredibly simple yet elegant way.
