I am researching and looking at Francesca's work tonight and I have fallen in love with her work and the style of her work. Her aesthetic really draws me in to her photographs, partly because I feel like I practice the same aesthetic. Her black and white photos are striking to me because they are not the typical black and white print...they are a little washed out and maybe overexposed, but still hold emotion which i can not take my eye away from. I chose the five photographs above because I could personally relate to them, not only because I feel like they deal with women and identity but because I feel like I have experienced what these women are. The most recent self-portrait series I did reminds me alot of her last image, which I can not stop looking at. I am overwhelmed with not only the models emotion, but also the photographers. I feel the way Francesca portrays women and uses the female body as her central theme has enlightened me and inspired me to push the boundaries which I have yet to break and explore the environments around my subject.
