Ella McManus

BA (Hons) Photography

BA Photography work by Ella McManus showing a close-up of a woman's hands

Concept and narrative have always been heavy influences in my work. The aim of my portraiture is to evoke thought, using my body as a subject I aim to provoke debate regarding the representation of the female. My current project looks at the female nude, its importance throughout history and its current connotations through the photographic lens.

Are we able to appreciate the female form more through painting because a veil of naivety is introduced and does the realism of the photographic eye introduce the idea of censorship despite the subject being the same?
