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.

Hannah Starkey
Using actors within carefully considered settings, Hannah Starkey’s photographs reconstruct scenes from everyday life with the concentrated stylisation of film. Starkey’s images picture women engaged in regular routines such as loitering in the street, sitting in cafes, or passively shopping. Starkey captures these generic ‘in between’ moments of daily life with a sense of relational detachment. Her still images operate as discomforting ‘pauses’; where the banality of existence is freeze-framed in crisis point, creating reflective instances of inner contemplation, isolation, and conflicting emotion.
