Nicole Craine

Growing up in the south, I have always lived in a provincial and conservative environment for the majority of my life. As a female, this often meant surrendering to male dominance around the household and a general lack of participation in business matters. The females in my family often struggled to gain control and confidence within our home and I eventually watched my mom struggle to find her independence as a single mother. As a 22-year-old photographer, I am investigating what it means to be a female looking at a male and how control can be exhibited through the photographic medium. My artwork consists of an evolving collection of photographs intended to explore the male figure and how it can function in contemporary photography.
