MY THIRD PHOTOSHOOT INSPIRED BY THE FEMALE GAZE.

         

 

For my third photoshoot, looking at photographers like Corinne day, Juno Calypso, Harley weir, Cass Bird and Petra Collins helped develop my concept and gave me plenty of inspiration. Shooting my model in underwear and a white cropped top suggested power against men and the attitude of not caring. We are here to disrupt the patriarchy and nothing else. I actually got inspiration to use white clothing from the film ‘the postman always rings twice’. This film is strongly focused on the male gaze, using a pretty girl in the film, using close-ups on her face and body suggesting the desire men have over her. Fetishistic scopophila is used in this film, this is the idea that the female figure is represented as a beautiful object of display. I want to show that displaying some skin shouldn’t be seen as sexual, and although the female in these photos is the main focus, we aren’t focusing on her body, we are focusing on her as a person.
