"How many prejudices hold a woman to her cross?

Nowadays women produce more than half of the world’s food still they’re deeply involved into issues like forced marriage, slavery, prostitution, pornography, human trafficking, mutilation and domestic violence.

This photo manipulation is a symbolic piece of digital art made in name of all the suffering and all the daily wars women are still fighting.

Arms holding back a woman causing her to live a life she doesn’t belong to, crucified by ignorance." Holy Cross 2012 - text+photograph ©martinabiccheri

Behind The Lens

Location

In a photo studio, with the help of two friend. The girl modeling, and a guy behind her who held her. This photo is a mash-up of approximately 20 images.

Time

Late afternoon

Lighting

We used a quite simple light scheme, in my opinion, if you want to do well in photography: it takes ideas not gear.

Equipment

I used my old reflex camera, a tripod and a couple lights.

Inspiration

How many prejudices hold a woman to her cross? Nowadays women produce more than half of the world’s food still they’re deeply involved into issues like forced marriage, slavery, prostitution, pornography, human trafficking, mutilation and domestic violence. This photo manipulation is a symbolic piece of digital art made in name of all the suffering and all the daily wars women are still fighting. Arms holding back a woman causing her to live a life she doesn’t belong to, crucified by ignorance.

Editing

Loooots of post-processing. As I mentioned previously this photo is made of 20 combined images. I only had two models.

In my camera bag

My heavy ass Canon and a tiny Fuji.

Feedback

Everything is possible, just make it happen.
