over the half term holidays I didnt manage to get much practical work done however I did take some photographs for my evidence project. firstly I asked my niece 'what dont you like about your body?' she replied with 'my cheeks, they are too fat' I was shocked about this, my niece is 8 and she is already thinking about what she eats and her weight. this idea of media manipulation and the negative affect on little girls is shocking.
influenced by Richard Johnson, a photographer I researched at the start of the project for verbal abuse is still relevant. I used the similar style of writing text onto the body/face. using paint and makeup I wrote fat on my nieces cheek and took photographs. I also made bruises on her face to show the mental damage. I really liked the outcome and I want to go forward with this idea of text on the face.
