Mobile Photography – Women – Talking Points – ‘What Do We Reveal To The Camera?’ with Catherine Caddigan
We are so pleased with how popular our new Women mobile photography and art section is becoming. Previously, we have featured incredible videos by M. Cecilia Sao Thiago and Armineh Hovanesian. Today, we publishing a new video, this time by Catherine Caddigan from the United States, a very talented mobile artist. Caddigan has produced a video of her perspective vis-à-vis the women’s movement, using her own work. It charts her thoughts surrounding, what as women we consider beautiful and encapsulating the mystery of what we reveal to the camera as opposed to revealing the mystery with our camera. “We as women are pressured from the time we are young to meet a certain standard of beauty, which affects how we feel about ourselves and how we present to the camera and how we are judged. For instance, I don’t considered myself as beautiful which affects my treatment of selfies or self portraits”, she explained.
Our ‘Women’ section addresses many of the issues affecting women in society today and reflects that with mobile photography and art. ‘Talking Points’, addresses answers to questions we have asked female mobile artists. We’ll include mobile video, demonstrating issues surrounding women, could be body hair, could be safety, sexual harassment, abortion, miscarriage, women in leadership, female entrepreneurs, flexible working, all issues that we each have thoughts about, whether through experience, or cognizance and each answered visually through mobile art.
