The project: an exploration into journalistic photography and design. This series will focus solely on the female being. When I mention the terms “female being” I am hinting to not just what makes one female – but what makes each female diverse, and empowered.
This series will allow me to interview each female who volunteers to be a part of the series. Each interview has 10 basic questions, as well as a few questions which are tailored to each female.
This process allows me to take a step back from myself and view each woman wholly and individually. This then allows me to become inspired by each woman. This inspiration then leads me to develop a photograph of each female which will be taken at a later date. The photographs will differ because each female inspires something different within me – and I hope that this inspiration will lead each of the women I photograph to develop a sense of divergence.
I am under the strong belief that each woman has inside of her a being of which few have found. This being allows the woman to connect to herself in ways that can allow them to grow exponentially. Women seem to be afraid to fully embrace who they are and be proud of how remarkable they truly can be. I have found that with the few women I have already interviewed that “distinction from the pack” is a label they cannot recognize with easily. We tend to hide within ourselves – being afraid of what would or could happen if we shed fear and embraced courage.
I need courageous women who feel as if they have story to tell – even if you feel as if you do not have story, this does not mean that you will not inspire another woman to be courageous and embrace her story. If you, or anyone you know would be interested in being a part of this series, please contact me at theshawnamiller@gmail.com The series will last until January 2015 – so there is still time to take part. I am looking for real women who may be afraid – but who are willing take part in something monumental.
