In feminist protests women would burn their bras and I got the idea from them. The focal point would be the fire on the bra. I pushed myself to be creative by not just doing something easy and simple I used fire and it wasn’t easy. I took the picture outside my front yard. I used the flashlight on the camera. I didn’t use any tripods or reflectors. I had to create a fire. I used photoshop and what I did was select everything around the bra and made it blurry. I didn’t use text. My message in this picture is feminism and also that women shouldn’t have to wear bras. In 1968 miss America pageant spawned a decade of bra burning by feminists as means of calling attention to their cause www.snopes.com/fact-check/feminist-bra-burning/ .

The connection between me and the cause is that I am kind of a feminist and I think that if a women doesn’t want to wear a bra then she shouldn’t have to. There is no specific mood you should have when you look at this picture just understand the message. The message is just meaning that the world makes it seem that women have to wear bras, when a women doesn’t wear a bra people will point it out or ask questions like it’s a bad thing when it’s not. Burning the bra is the most successful aspect because that was the point. The least successful thing was the background because it wasn’t a good background, to fix it I could choose a different background or photoshop one in. The most difficult part was taking a picture in time so the bra didn’t burn my moms hand. I did achieve it. What i learned from this project is the history about it.
