Louise Axby-Hirst













This body of work evokes the genre of fashion photography to investigate ideas and issues surrounding the notion of the gaze and particularly the female gaze. Employing a cinematic aesthetic, and an unelaborated narrative, these images present an idealised instant: the pinnacle of the action, the clearest facial expression or the perfect composition.

The objectification of the male characters within this work importantly seeks to establish a relationship between the image and the viewer, a relationship that invites the viewer to continue the fantasy.
