The Female Gaze is something that has been debated for years, whether or not images of women can be for women and not predominately for men.
This work challenges this assumption and what femininity is all about.
This has pulled away from the stereotypes of the way women are thought to be throughout their life. The overall images try to explain that women can dress and act in any way they choose through all stages of their life without taking away from their femininity.
Adolescence is a confusing time with mass adjustments, finding a
new sense of femininity and form slowly learning how it changes them into a woman.

I will look at the journey through womanhood from childhood to mature woman.
Wendy beven- 1970's style beautiful imagery, she often works in poloroid.
Just really like this...
Kate Moss by Corrine day
Really liked the blurry image of the girl with the flower garland, I think movement captured in photography works well. My attempt is above also with created a dreamy like effect I thought.
I have fallen in love with Lula Magazine since I discovered it, there is something about the romantic dreamy imagery that captures my imagination as it definatley my style. They remade the classic image of Lolita the book and film which is about a highly flirtatious teenager who know how to get what she whats, I looked to this film for inspiration for the adolescence stage of femininty as well as the Virgin suicides which looks at the extremes of the teenage years. The film directed by Sofia Coppola is visually beautiful and I wanted to capture that lighting in my shoot.

Photographer and stylist- myself
Assistant- Zoe Thompson
Model- Maddison
The top images are from my concept book for this shoot, I was inspired by the photographer Sally Mann who took images of her children in grown up poses, with cigerettes and such taking away from the usual images of childhood images you would normally see.
These are more of the pages from my book supporting the childhood shoot.
