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.

Emilie, Kym & Tara
This was a fun shoot working with four models, The concept was too get the girls to show the fun element of dressing up as school girls, having a giggle and not taking them themselves seriously. At the moment I am torn between two images, i like the one with the bikes and graffiti as this sums up school days really well, but I also like the one with the sunset in the background, it captures a natural moment but has the essence of kids being out after dark!

The idea behind this photoshoot was to capture the "mutton" doing her household chores, dressed in a way most would not consider doing their housework! I am unsure at this stage which one to choose for the final image, I like the window image shot from the inside but because you can't see much of the clothing, i don't think it works as well. I also like the one by the bathroom sink as it gives a more home feel too it.

Hellen Van Meene
Hellen Van Meene has captured intimate portraits of young girls in their natural surroundings. They are captured alone in odd, intimate moments of inbetweeness and vunerability. These photograph's can give a very uneasy and uncomfortable essence to them. There is a feeling of these adolescents are unsure of who they are or what they should be.
