Logan white –
Logan white was born and raised in the South of America, which instilled in her a belief of spirit in the form of body place and time. Raised very southern she was surrounded by folklore and classical music, and her work resonates deeply with her heritage.
Her work has a strong sense of emotional intensity of the romantic period. As a young white southern girl, brought up around the bible and its teachings, some expression of her photographs are seen to be nostalgic and subversive.
Logan graduated from Rhode island School of Design with a degree in photography and studied on the European Honours program in Rome, Italy. Her work has been in various publications such as :
- New York Times
- Vogue
- Purple
- Dazed
- L’Official Art Paris
Examples of her work –
In this particular photoshoot, the themes of nostalgia and femininity is very strong. I want to stray from the idea of nostalgia for this project but will definitely want to explore the theme of femininity.
The impact of femininity on the world and women in general especially in this day and age is very important, and is something that should be placed on a pedestal, taught to younger generations and explored through school and social scenarios.

Based on what you have here so far, i think you should add a blog post or two on
Constructed Realities and Tableaux Photography
Look at artists such as Gregory Crewdson, Jeff Wall and Philip Lorca Di Corcia, Nan Goldin possibly, but also Hannah Starkey and Alex Prager too.
Potentially you could set up a shoot that incorporates elements of these ideas based on storytelling techniques including acting, dressing up, role play and the inclusion of symbols as metaphor too.
