My project is to create a body of work that will be exhibited along with text explaining ‘The Gaze’ and giving different views and opinions on nudity of women being in the media and public eye, a book will also accompany the exhibited work for people to write their views and opinions wether it is objectification, appropriate, etc..
These images will be black and white and possibly exhibited on light boxes.
The images will include women in underwear however I will make sure I have permission from the models themselves, I will also not make them do anything they may feel uncomfortable doing. After shooting and editing I will then exclusively show each model their image and ask 1. if I can use it on my website and 2. if i can use it in my final exhibition. This will also be explained at the exhibition thus creating a new level to the argument.
The idea is not for me to come to my own conclusion, I have my opinions on the matter that if I write or display it will only influence decisions, I will draw my own conclusions etc during the period up to the exhibition but these will not be displayed.
I want to create an argument I want people to stand there and discuss opinions, to read the book, to look back at the image, to listen to other people talking about it, to read the accompanying text and form their own battle in there head or out loud wether its right or wrong then to go home and still be discussing it.

This isn't just a series of fashion or beauty photographs this is a debate and a sort of experiment.
