Belle de Jour, Amelie by Marisa Portolese

The human body, contemporary portraiture, and the figure in landscape are the direct base to my artistic practice. Belle de Jour is a series of 30 large-scale photographs depicting women in various states of undress, masquerading different roles. The portraits are carefully orchestrated to present the viewer to present the viewer a world of girls who tease the line of the voyeur. These images expose a budding female sexuality,and call into question an idealized vision of femininity.
