A Powerful Woman

  • Jolie Chatfield

In 2019 my sister, Abbie Chatfield was a contestant on The Bachelor Australia. The general public's response to her portrayal focused on her sexuality and youth as negative attributes. Abbie was receiving hundreds of death threats and bullying messages on social media every day during airing. Abbie is much more than her "ample assets" (as described by The Daily Mail) and so we decided to take some photos that celebrate, yes her beauty, youth and sexuality, but also her strength, power and vulnerability. Photography, set and styling by me. Makeup by Carly Lim. Abbie is wearing a jacket designed and constructed by me.
