SEVEN DEADLY SINS

7 DEADLY SINS is a photography piece that comments on how women are perceived in our society through the cultural lens of the seven deadly sins. Each photo, representing a "sin", portrays a woman with normal emotions and actions. This expresses how women's feelings and actions are often negatively misconstrued by society. A successful woman may be thought of as greedy. A depressed woman may be thought of as lazy. Every "sin" is represented by a specific color. These "sins" are contrasted with the unrealistic and unattainable childlike ideal of purity in the last photo.

Method

All color effects in this photo series were produced through analog method, such as colored lights and shooting through colored plastic. These photos were touched up with basic light editing.
