Francesca Woodman For my final project in photography, I chose to represent mental health. I did this through a series of self-portraits that portray different struggles associated with mental health including depression, anxiety, and body image issues. Francesca Woodman, an american photographer for this project, inspired me. She was born in 1958 and died in 1981 at the young age of 22. She was most well-known for her black-and-white photography. Her photographs were usually of herself or other women and focused on long exposures and lots of movements to create blur effects. Woodman struggled with mental health her whole life and sadly died by suicide as well (Wikipedia). The first image of hers I am choosing to talk about is this one. One thing I really like about this image is the lighting. I love how it looks like a spotlight is coming from above her. I had an image in my series where I used long exposure like in this image. I think it does a nice job of conveying the confusion...
