The Last Taboo.


These are the development stages of a photography project I started at the beginning of the year.





I began looking at femininity and how women are perceived as glamourous and sexual beings. The reality of being a woman is very different to this perception, for example, menstruation. Using this topic I focussed on used sanitary products to reveal the natural beauty of being a woman and to break down the taboos surrounding women's periods. It is a topic that we should all embrace as it is a normal and natural cycle - yet it is still regarded as 'dirty' and 'impolite' to talk about.
