Saturday Girls

Originally from Delaware in the USA photographer, researcher and Senior Lecturer at Leeds Metropolitan University Casey Orr has created an exhibition entitled Saturday Girls.
The exhibition is about a project of Casey Orr which involved talking pictures of girls in Leeds with unusual hairstyles. The girls are all young.
The prints were rather large and for me they felt a little too large often with some of the images losing their quality. The photos were a mixture of flattering and not. However I did quite like this as it felt like a comment on today’s girls trying to use makeup to make them look more attractive when at times it made them look worse.
The main theme of the project is hair and there were some really fun ones. It was definitely interesting looking at them and a couple of these images were really nice such as this one below.



On a whole I think this is definitely worth a visit or a quick look on the internet. Personally not my favorite exhibition I've visited this year.
