I found it very interesting that she is obsessed with the masculinity of males from a female perspective. From what I understand after watching the video is that she is trying to capture the image of what makes us who we are. She is on a constant search for what that means. Who are we? What are we? She likes to photograph her subjects up close and when they have been pushed to their physical limits, such as her photos of the high wrestling team. She explores gender roles by placing males in female positions and plays around with the meaning of that situation. I do not know exactly if I like her as an artist. However, she did say something that could apply to any photographer. She mentioned that when she is working in the field and she takes pictures it can be, "...not a picture I planned but a picture I saw." This can and should indeed be something that all photographers come to understand.
