Portrayals of femininity and masculinity are, without doubt, central to a number of art forms, photography not being an exception.

Narrative ~ Figments or Fragments

Juror: Emma Powell The photograph’s power as a narrative tool is derived from the impression that what is captured within the frame is an accurate representation of what actually occurred at a specific moment in time.
