Absence of Body

  • Maria Dowsett

This photographic series was created for my Final Major Project. Absence of Body looks at the different ways Fashion Photography can be utilised when there is no model present. Through a range of surrealist photographs, it challenges the fashion industry's need for the perfect model by swapping them for plastic mannequins. Absence of Body also looks at the way still life photography can be used to capture human lives, be it through our possessions or our body's form.
