Our class went to a gallery with photographs taken by Alyssa Jones, and she wanted to capture the image of these women in whichever way they wanted. It was up to the person in the photo, rather than the photographer, to decide where the picture was being taken and what was going to happen in it.
A few photographs that really jumped out at me were the ones of Steff, the girl with the dog, Hanna, the girl in the hall with magazines, and Elisa, the girl that was fly-fishing.
Steff was playing with her dog and looked as normal as anybody. I think Jones was trying to show that dogs don't discriminate, and neither should people. It was a great portrayal of someone just being happy and confident.
Hanna was sitting in a hall with a dress on, and magazines were covering the floor such as "Vogue." This is showing that even lesbians and bisexuals can be girly, and that they shouldn't always be judged.
Elisa was fly-fishing, showing that even women can do things that most men enjoy. She's happy who she is and what she's doing, and no one can tell her otherwise.
