The Ladies Who Lunch
The Ladies Who Lunch presents the importance of relationships in working-class communities and how they bring happiness in the good times and comfort during the hard times when they come together to provide support. Traditionally in photography working-class communities are looked down on by the way they are presented, which is negatively. Therefore, it was important for me to show working-class communities in a different light, a more realistic light, rather than a false sense of reality. This work challenges the traditions by depicting a celebration of good times between the strong bond of these four women by showing "It's not what we have in our life, but who we have in our life that counts" (J.M. Laurence, n.d).
