“Space of Her Own” Photography Exhibit

Each of the 12 girls in the 2014-2015 Space of Her Own (SOHO) class was given a film camera and the opportunity to create a series of narrative-based photographs. Armed with their cameras, a room full of costumes and props, and a lesson on dramatic lighting, the girls spent over an hour photographing themselves and their peers acting out a number of story lines concerning their futures and goals, and how they will achieve those goals.

After the photographs were taken, the girls had the opportunity to develop a selection of their images in the dark room with Art League instructor Alison Duvall. See their photographs on display in The Art League Gallery, January 24 to February 2.
