Rocio Montoya: Collage

Rocio Montoya is a photographer based in Madrid, she combines her amazing skill of photographic with an excellent eye for art and design, by combining these elements together she is able to create wonderful and interesting pieces of art that really open a unique insight to how she portrays the world and people around her. In a lot of her work she uses deconstruction to take apart old and new photographs to be able to fuse them with different elements which in turn creates an image with a new identity to a possibly forgettable photograph. 

I love the way the Montoya works as she isn't afraid to develop and change her art so that it becomes refreshing and contrasting from many of the photographers and artists around today, and by being able to create identifiable pieces that you would relate back to her and her style is an amazing achievement and something that is truly inspiring.

Discovering Herself.com

Herself.com was created by Caitlin Stasey with the idea for women to be able to witness all female forms with out feeling corrupted by advertisement, and with out the fear of being overly sexualised by showing there bodies and sharing there stories with others. By sharing there images and words with the readers of the website, the women involved hope to evoke a sense of solidarity within women and to triumph in being able to take back the images that others use to gain profit from our insecurities.

On the website there are a number of different women who have shared themselves and there stories, each unique and worth exploring. I really love the concept behind this project and would encourage people to take a look at the website, even participate..
