To portray diversity within my final images, I felt the root I was most drawn to was body image, and how diverse you can be with the many body shapes and sizes we have in today's society.
As I explained before about the fact that many people in the media today suggests that "big is beautiful". and curves are womanly, etc. Then you get someone who is skinny and they instantly get judged on being 'too thin'.
I also felt portraying a bigger woman in my photographs is just simply stating the obvious. As girls on the catwalk are mostly skinny, people feel using bigger woman are being diverse. However, I think people also forget that being skinny is part of diversity as well. Being skinny are not having curves has it advantages too. I feel using someone who is quite skinny and tall will portray beauty of the body and I am able to work with the length of the models limbs, expressing elaborate shapes and movement. This is obviously just an idea I touched upon and will hopefully start to produce more ideas from this concept I want to look in to.
