Για το πρώτο αυτοπορτραίτο του 2021, αποφάσισα να μεταμορφωθώ και να γίνω η κοπέλα του γνωστού πόστερ “we can do it”, μόνο που το δικό μου σύνθημα είναι «ας το τελειώσουμε». Αρκετά περάσαμε νομίζω όλοι μας, ήρθε η ώρα να πάμε παρακάτω. Ας πάμε λοιπόν.
For 2021’s first self-portrait, I decided to turn myself into the girl from the “we can do it” poster, only that my slogan is “we can end it”. I think we’ve all had enough, it’s time to move on. So, let’s move on.

The U.S. Office of the War produced a variety of materials designed to convince women to enter into war production jobs as part of their patriotic duty. “Rosie the Riveter” was part of this propaganda campaign and became a media icon associated with female defense workers during World War II.
The first image now considered to be “Rosie the Riveter” was created by the American artist J. Howard Miller in 1942, but it was titled “We Can Do It!” and had no association with anyone named Rosie. It is believed that this initial drawing was part of the Westinghouse Electric Corporation’s wartime production campaign to recruit female workers.

An old U.S. wartime poster used in an effort to get women out of the kitchen and into the factories to take over the roles of their male counterparts fighting the war. Rosie the Riveter also became a symbol for women and young girls everywhere in the fight for women's rights and the feminist movement.
We have two people to thank for that coming to pass, Susan B. Anthony and Elizabeth Cady Stanton devoted their lives to the women's rights movement. You go girls! ;)
Happy Labor Day! Since I don't have a union or government job, I'll be working today.

You Can Do It..........
Giving up is easy. But if you have faith in yourself never ever give up. Try Try Try and Try. One day you will definitely win. If you really want to fulfil your dream then never stop believing that YOU CAN DO IT.
“To accomplish great things, we must not only act, but also dream; not only plan, but also believe.” ~ Anatol
So just remember WE CAN DO IT
"Jackie the Riveter"
SENAC-RJ: Model Photography Class - 24/08/2019 - Pin Up style inspired by the famous poster "We Can Do It!" (by J. Howard Miller - 1943: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/We_Can_Do_It!).
Model: Jaqueline "Jackie" Marinho
This week's truth: I have always preferred playing with the boys, but I have one rule. I don't want to be handled with kid gloves just because I am a girl. It doesn't matter if I am playing a game or preparing to enter a male dominated profession. I am not just a girl. I am a peer.
Critical Essay:
These series of images are from my AS exam, where we got to choose a central theme. I chose to explore image and text. I started thinking about what text could do to a picture and decided to choose an important theme so I could get strong messages across with the text. I chose to do equality, as this is something I am passionate about! The photographs are three out of the nine final images which were mounted on a black board for my exam.
I looked at Mitra Tabrizan who used image and text for racial issues towards advertising, cinema and social issues. The use of text allowed her to comment on African American's role in media and how they are frequently portrayed as the weaker race. Without text, she would not have been able to have done this effectively; This is why text can be important to photography. This inspired the first photograph which says 'Skinny is PERFECTION', which depicts a woman with a tape measure around her waist, commenting on the how media creates false pretenses of being skinny. The model is looking down and not at the camera to convey a sad mood, as though she doesn’t want to be photographed. I believe all sizes should be seen as normal and treated equally. The media creates the wrong idea of 'perfection' into girls/women’s heads. The text I chose is in the font 'Calibri Light' as this font looks skinny, emphasising the topic, as well as looking visually effective. The 'Perfection' is in capital letters in order to stand out and makes you shout it in your head, just like how the media shouts down to us what perfection is by only having skinny models and using photoshop to change the size of a model if ‘they’re not skinny enough’. At the bottom right of the picture I chose to put the text 'THE MEDIA CREATES FALSE PRETENCES OF SKINNY' all in capital letters which makes the photograph stand out and gets the message across. Without the text this photograph wouldn't be as effective, or get the message I wanted to across.
In addition, I looked at Barbara Kruger who is an American conceptual artist, known for her black and white photographs with captions in red text boxes and white text, to do with societal issues. In particular, the one which most inspired me was her photograph depicting a women with her face split in two, one side which has make-up on and the other had a beard drawn on, depicting half woman half man. The photograph then had red boxes with white writing, with the text that says 'Gender is irrelevant'; I thought this was very effective as it shows the viewers that the gender of a person shouldn't matter, as we are all one kind. This inspired the second photograph depicting a women's face half with make-up on and half without, to shows that the make-up someone puts on their face shouldn't matter. Wearing make-up is constantly perceived as being ‘fake’ and not wearing make-up can be seen as ‘ugly’. The reason why I chose the text 'Make-up is irrelevant' is to show that it doesn't matter if you wear make-up and anyone can wear it no matter what gender. The text stands out in this photograph, it wouldn't be as effective without the text. I think this photograph looks effective as the model is directly in the middle and you can clearly see that one side has make-up and the other doesn’t. However, if I were to do this again I would improve the lighting as it is slightly underexposed, this would make the image pop more.
The third photograph was also inspired by Barbara Kruger and the wartime propaganda 'We Can Do It!’ poster by J. Howard Miller, I added a modern touch to the poster by using a high key studio lighting set up and Barbara Kruger's red text box style with white writing. This creates a strong feminine photograph to do with equality. The model has her fists clenched and a red bandana which creates images of masculinity in a female body with lots of make-up, this looks eye-catching and shows women can do both. There is no weaker sex. The text adds the power and message to the photograph, which is why text can be very important in a photograph. The text is in the font ‘Stencil’ as this is an army font, which makes the photograph look masculine with a female model! The lighting looks effective in this photograph, as well as the text and the message. In order to improve this image, I would neaten up the models hair as it looks messy in the back.
In conclusion, text can make the photograph have a completely different meaning and can juxtapose from the photograph completely. Text can also add depth to a photograph and help emphasise the point/message and make the photograph more powerful. I enjoyed this project as I got to experiment with the perceptions of masculinity, the negative connotations of being gay and the idealization of women, as well as them being seen as the weaker sex.

Okay, I thought I would join along and bump a picture I took for FGR since it is ending today. I would say that I was sad about it, but that would be lying. To be honest, when I started Flickr FGR was my first and favorite group. It helped me come up with ideas for shots for my 365. But after a while it was boring. It was a group where tons of people would basically post the same picture on one day. A lot of the groups that were picked for FGR were ridiculous and made for some awful pictures. I actually have a lot of my first pictures on Flickr hidden because they were just so awful. Not that it is 100% FGR's fault. I mean, I was a pretty shitty "'photographer" when I first got on Flickr... But the themes that happened didn't help my cause.
Sure I met a lot of awesome people in FGR and I am thankful for that. But all things must come to an end and I really think that it is FGR's time. So long, farewell....

wow. :)
This costume is charming as hell, and such a great choice by this cosplayer. I could totally see J. Howard Miller choosing her as the model for this poster.
This costume looks simple, but that's probably deceptive. Did she cut out the slogan from an authentic reproduction of the original poster? It's perfect, and it's the part of this costume that really pays off when you get it spot-on.
Many costumes have "that one element" that needs to be right. I'd say that the typography on that poster is as iconic as Rosie.
