Body Image

Over a period of 8 weeks I worked with a group of young women from Kiverton Youth group, looking at female body image as influenced by the media, and the impacts this has on our young women today. We documented the process with video cameras. At the end of the course the girls felt much more positive about themselves and their body image, and had changed their attitudes greatly about the way they see themselves within society.
