Undergraduate Final Research Project - The Female Gaze

  • Lucy Corkish

An extended research project for the final assessment of my undergraduate degree, for which I studied the prevalence and usage of the 'female gaze' in (primarily) French photography. I looked at modernist and contemporary female photographers who had lived or worked in Paris. The 9000-word project was awarded a first.
