Hormonella 

Hormonella is a photo series that analyses the use of contraceptive hormones through the account of interviewed subjects.


Hormonella places women at the forefront highlighting a diverse range of ages and ethnicities, all of whom have used or continue to use hormones for pregnancy prevention and/or managing menstrual pain.
 

How? Each woman featured in the series was interviewed prior to the photoshoot. Drawing from their answers and personal experiences, the choices in makeup, styling and backgrounds crafted a visual narrative that captured each individual’s story.

In total, seven women were interviewed for this series, with 2-3 images selected to represent each of their stories.
