#Traits of the divine feminine series

The color green was also considered an ancient color as it represents mother nature. For example in ancient times black was considered an feminine color as it is the absorbed of all light and women traditionally absorb all the energy from those around her. It was exciting and confounding that these symbols have changed and even has become conflicted with time.

So I began research on femininity and symbols of femininity both ancient and modern as I wanted to include a well rounded view on what is the вЂњdivine feminineвЂќ.

As I collected images to gain inspiration for a story it was quickly apparent at there was an underlying theme of femininity that is linked with term вЂњetherealвЂќ.

I had originally set out to create a series with an ethereal feel. This editorial, вЂњThe Divine FeminineвЂќ, was a long time in the making. It is very important that each member of the team contributes their vision to the idea, and I truly believe that it allows the final product to be more than вЂњthe sum of its partsвЂќ. The original idea might be an item of clothing, a photo, a photographers process, a locationвЂ¦ the list goes on! After reaching out and putting a team together, the team looks at the idea to create a vision, and an important part of the process is to give the other members input into how they envisage the shoot.

It began with an interest in taking portraits and I quickly branched out to editorial photography, as telling the story is as interesting to me as the technical aspect of photography. I began doing portraiture photography in 2014. Kate Lionis is a photographer, residing in Sydney, Australia.
