'As Women'
As women we still face many obstacles, we fight many corners and graze many ceilings. As women, we often conform to a number of societally defined parameters and antiquated obligations. As women, we can begin to use the tradition of a male gaze for our own pleasure, moulding it to the will of our self- expression. 'As Women' is a collection of photographs exploring the subversive use of a style of image making traditionally aimed at a male audience, re-appropriated to provide a platform for sexual expression for women. By utilising an existing aesthetic and rupturing it for a new purpose, we as women can begin to reclaim and redefine the visual tropes of represented female sexuality monopolized by the ever presence of the male gaze.
