1 Tahira Fida - 2011

2  The Islamic dress between the religion, the modern changes, and five artists’ representations.  Fida (2010) 4x1 A Female Interpretation Exhibition

3  The Islamic dress and veiling has captured the attention of people around the world.  Some Muslim ladies nowadays, do not understand the rationale behind this dress, and a lot of women who want to look modern avoid wearing it.  A number of artist have used the Islamic dress in their art to present a concept or debate an idea.

4  Conceptual photography.  Photographs present a concept related to Muslim ladies.  The photos are suppose to show Muslim lady/ladies wearing Islamic dress.  I have discussed the work of 5 artists in my paper and personally love Shirin Neshat’s photos.

5 Neshat (1994) Women of Allah series

6  Selected some concepts and tried them.  For example, 1- the concept ‘suffer’

7  2- the concept ‘destiny’

8  3- ‘lost by the rhythm’

9  My photos were taken by Canon camera EOS 500D 15.1 M.P.  Used Photoshop to adjust them.  However, not happy with the quality and results.  In my mind, what tutors have pointed out “quantity leads to quality”.  My aim is ‘Do many experiments and finalize the project.’

10  Attending workshops in photography.  Getting help from a professional photographer.  Using CS5 for photos manipulation.  Taking many photos at different times and exposures.  Agreed with a model (a Muslim lady) to photograph her.  Looking at well-known photographers art work such as Misha Gordin on the internet.  Blogging.
