This is my first shoot, starting with the three year old girls, I am trying to capture children from as young as three already being taught to be like a woman, even though it's through play, such as playing babies, pretend cooking and ironing and wearing Mummy's shoes and jewellery. Although I believe it to be innocent and copying Mum and learning through play, it is interesting to me even at this age young girls are behaving like a woman!
My final year project at De Montfort university (BA Hons Photography & Video). My work explores issues of female representation concerned with age and perceptions of age within the context of emotional fears women experience throughout their lives. Working closely with women and girls from three to forty five years of age my photography explores the differing context age places them within and discovers how often these women and girls are trying to escape their age defined world.
