If you were a Barbie, what barbie would you be?

These images make up my final fourth-year thesis from my time at Sheridan College. This series addresses the question “If you were a Barbie, what Barbie would you be?”. When the 2023 Barbie movie came out I fell in love - the way Greta Gerwig made that movie was just amazing beyond words and it stuck with me in so many ways. When I came back to my fourth year the following September I decided I wanted to move from product photography more into portraiture, and I knew I wanted it to be something with the idea of Barbie. My goal with this series was to let women show their personalities and capture who they truly are in a fun and colourful style, while also helping them feel more confident at the same time. This commercial-style series is the result of this and is something I’m so proud to have produced after putting my whole heart and soul into it during my final semester.
