Her Story

The piece Her Story is a documentary into the everyday lives of ten girls and their stories of body image and self-confidence. Using image and text, this piece is a narrative to show the reality of body image issues in adult women. Keeping the faces out of the photographs has a double usage of both practical identity safety and is also used to force the audience to view these stories based upon physical appearance alone. Her Story uses a cyan hue to create a cool overall mood while a state of color versus monochromatic and natural lighting emphasizes the physical beauty of these women in their untouched form. The arrangement of side-by-side text and image allows the audience to see the reality of body image next to real women creating an overall emotionally moving piece.
