Lynn Hershman Photography





Lynn Hershman’s photographs focus on gender, technology and identity in today’s society and the influence it can have. She explores issues of female identity and links it with technology. What I like about her photographs is that it is evident that the woman has a beautiful body but her face is covered by a form of technology.  Her identity is hidden. It suggests that technology can obscure ones identity and this is what I would like to explore in my project but instead through the media's stereotypes of women. These photographs have given me an idea for a photographic shoot. I would like to conceal a part of someone’s body or face to obscure their true identity.
