Social issue



In my photos I've tried to focus the viewer on the role advertising plays in our lives. In the first two photos I'm trying to show how fake these women really are. I'm literally doing this by showing the fact that they're reproductions, printed onto a wall and cardboard, and so trying to push the idea that women like these are not real. In the next two photos I've tried to show the juxtaposition between the 'real' people in the spaces, and those in advertisements. The woman on the wall and the woman pushing the baby carriage look like they're from two different worlds, as do the two men. Overall I'm trying to reveal the lie of advertising.
