feminist (2014); when you spend so much time with the folks here at tumblr dot com, i think you kind of forget that in the real world, feminism is still regarded as extreme and has this weird bad connotation to it. we talk about classic feminist literature in my lectures and i’m shocked by how many people disagree with feminist ideals. every single person in my life has this internalized misogyny that they aren’t even aware of. that’s why, for my final photography project, i decided to cover feminism. i utilized an institutional-type wall and two simple continuous profoto lights to create a man-on-the-street vibe and recruited some of the most passionate feminists i know to pose with signs. it’s a simple idea for those of us who are so passionate about feminism, but i’m hoping it will help open the eyes of my classmates who never give these ideas a second thought.
