Jane, 2008

Amy_Postle_Jane_2008 © Amy Postle

An image from a personal series focusing on “real” women and their feelings about their bodies. Amy’s work explores the ideologies of   womanhood and the secret lives and fantasies of women. She approaches her subjects as more of a film director than photographer, and strives to promote self-esteem and a positive body image in women. This image is part of the group exhibition “Summertime” currently on view at the Robin Rice Gallery.
