Feminine Beauty and Strength





Here I was looking at showing a combination of stereotypical feminine beauty with strength that was actually supposed to look masculine but I feel the model, Beth, pulled off her suit so well she just looks like a very powerful woman. 

The concept of feminine beauty is the subject I was looking at in both Art and Photography over the past few months as it fascinated me and I felt I just had to get to the bottom of my own concept of feminine beauty. 

I have found that throughout my time of studying art I usually look at issues I am subconsciously dealing with at the time, such as this topic which is so relevant at the age of seventeen when you are not a girl, but not yet a woman (had to quote Britney there, sorry guys!).

But on a more formal note,  I feel encountering this project in both Art and Photography enabled me to get to the bottom of my own opinion of feminine beauty and my conclusion is: there is absolutely no definition; however, a common denominator for me is that everyone I find beautiful, not gorgeous or hot, is a beautiful person on the inside.

What's your concept of beauty?

  1. Great post Ruby! Beauty to me is about harmony and a sense that there is more than what you see. I think beauty is a way of communicating a message. Nature is often beautiful in demonstrating the vibrancy of life. xxx
