It was one of the heaviest rains I’ve ever shot in. Even with my umbrella, I was completely soaked… I was even worried that I might have spoiled my iPhone since it must be drenched in my pocket. While I was standing in the intersection, crossing paths with pedestrians hurrying to get to shelter, I noticed this lone figure from afar… right in the middle of Orchard Road. The silhouette was walking away from where I was, so with my tiny umbrella on one hand and camera on the other, I ran towards it to catch a better look. Suddenly I realized the figure was actually walking towards my direction! I hurriedly backed up until I got the framing I wanted. I knelt down, pointed, and just clicked away. When the figure walked past me, I realized it was an old lady. She was just casually walking, braving the heaviest of rains, with the street all by herself. What a big contradiction to the younger crowd I usually encounter, hurrying to get to shelter like the rain was a bad thing.
Sometimes the hardest thing to do is to begin.
The rest is all downhill.

I was inspired to base this project on the theme ‘Women and life choices’ when I watched a video on YouTube called ‘Miss Representation’ (<a href=”http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S5pM1fW6hNs&sns=fb” rel=”nofollow”>www.youtube.com/watch?v=S5pM1fW6hNs&sns=fb</a>), the short description for this video reads ‘An overlook at the Hegemonic society that utilizes the media as a tool to dictate gender expression. This sets into motion the subordination of women in our society and that value that they hold as individuals politically and socially.’ The video is based on research in America but as the cultural is very much the same in West Europe, I felt this is without a doubt very much relevant also to us in the UK. The images media is portraying of women today, are often images that sends messages that what is most important, and what the value and worth depends on, is how to look rather than their achievements and intellectuals. I was inspired to do a series of portraits of strong, happy, independent women who have made different choices in our society. My aim was to create a sense of power and happiness in these photographs and hoping that it will inspire young female adults.
