Above are my final pieces from this exam. All of my images are different examples of connoting the objectification of women. As barcodes are universally recognised as a way of labelling a product for sale, I felt that using them in my images would be a great way of connoting objectification. I was lead to this decision through my preparatory work as during that time I researched many different feminist photographers and looked at how they expressed their messages through photography. For example, I enjoyed that Phebe Schmidt focussed on creating a look of plasticity in her work as it made her models look like dolls. I took inspiration from this, which is why my images present my models as products. I had already done a version of this shoot during my preparatory work and enjoyed the outcome of the images, which is why I chose to continue it as my final exam piece.
