Surreal Photos Explore Why Women Often Wrap Up Their Identity In Their Hair

An interesting article about a series of conceptual photographs by Rebecca Drolen exploring women’s hair.

There is a very complex relationship between a woman and her hair…
“I entered making this work with a sense of fascination that hair is both beautiful and repulsive in our culture. The fragile influence of context is its only distinction. We see long hair on a woman as a symbol of beauty and femininity, but as soon as the hair is cut or removed the body, we think of it as unsanitary and strange. Likewise, we seem to never have enough hair in the places we want it, and too much hair in the places that we don’t want it to be!” – Rebecca Drolen

Jury – PhotoShoot Awards

Due to my exquisitely fine tastes in art, I’m on the jury for the NUDE 2015 Photoshoot Awards. There are two months left to participate! (You have to pay though.) It’s a somewhat prestigious award and a good way to get your work noticed.

From the website:

Our NUDE 2015 jury is composed of international artists and professionals who have acquired a taste for creative images and photography. Their common vision will identify the best artistic photographs representing our criteria for this contest: emotion, beauty and freedom.

Rebecca Tun: Art Model, Germany

Rebecca is a freelance art model from the UK. She is currently based in Berlin and spends her time there organizing tours of Europe: “I’m going from place to place modeling for different photographers on a wide range of art projects in a lot of exotic locations. I’m obsessed with making pictures and I’m addicted to looking at them. I’m deeply motivated by imagination and creativity, but also very technical in my approach. My days revolve around images. In my spare time I take photographs and I make collages”. When she finishes modeling, Rebecca would like to stay in the world of images by becoming an editor or a curator.

Jury – PhotoShoot Awards

A still from last week’s interview with filmmaker Leif Allendorf for an upcoming documentary about a few models in Berlin. Expected to be completed by Spring next year, so watch this space. My first interview recorded both visually and audibly! Really had to bite the bullet for this one as I am terribly shy.

No fan of armpit hair neither of pubic hair. But it looks wonderful on you. Very beautiful artistic Photos. Kudos.

Thank you, I do like my three lady bushes, and I can also see why some people aren’t fans. The hair will come and go. Wondering whether armpit hair plus bare pussy would be a look I could pull off, or if it would look unbalanced…

Only a few more train journeys in the UK before my 16-25 Railcard becomes invalid.
Feels like I’ve been a Young Person for as long as I can remember…perhaps this landmark, the transition into three times more expensive train tickets, will be that jolt that propels me into adulthood. Then again…maybe not. After all, I thought it was going to happen that time when I wore an apron and used a recipe book…and then the time after that when I went to the DIY store by myself and bought tools…or the time when I realised I was having my family round as guests…but no. Those moments passed and I was the same kid as before. Now I shall simply be a kid who spends more money on travel.
