Emma Abotsi
Women looking at women form the central theme of my work. Does the feminine gaze in itself, or is it just an extension of the masculine gaze? My work seek to explore women's perception of the feminine through the hybrid fashion image; that which an alternative view to fashion and fine art in a photographic environment. Drawing on the artifice of the photographic environment I am exploring ways of disrupting the power relationship between the photographer, the model, and the studio space to create tension in my images, where the lighting backdrop, and any other features of the studio all become props, asserting a certain punctuation of their own and establishing a complex axis of power.
