    To counteract these offensive images and messages, the intention of my photographs is to not only make visible strong contrasts, but to invoke a new visual vocabulary for how women should be depicted externally, and how they should see themselves internally. My interest is to document authentic self-confident women, who exude intellect rather than a vacant expression, those that have embraced their aging with grace and pride, whose wrinkles reveal character and experience, and wear their "imperfections" as a timeless accessory. Rather than perpetuating the creation of these demeaning images as a photographer, regardless of critique, or continuously being besieged by them as a viewer, my hope instead is that by revealing the psychological damage that these images promote to the feminine psyche, especially adolescent young girls, there will be a campaign for acceptance of visual truths as defining feminine beauty and perfection, rather than encouraging hollow illusions or mutilation of the feminine body and…

    In magazines aimed at the general population, including Sports Illustrated and Vanity Fair, women are oversexualized with provocative slogans, little to no clothing, and electronically edited photos. This creates an apparent distinction between what the media reinforces as the ideal woman and what women really look like. Here, a phenomenon called the feminine beauty ideal arises. The feminine beauty ideal is "the socially constructed notion that physical attractiveness is one of women 's most important assets, and something all women should strive to achieve and maintain."
