'HER' is a collection of photographic portrayals of women that explores, in the tradition of Cindy Sherman, the roles of women in the modern world. Photographer Marjorie Salvaterra, inspired in part by her own experiences as artist, wife, and mother, and by her travels, creates strikingly beautiful images that make us rethink our expectations of women and our notions of femininity, particularly in light of the drive to achieve "perfection," both physically and in terms of accomplishments.
Playing with the conventions of fashion photography, art cinema, pop culture, and advertising imagery, Salvaterra has created photographs that are provocative (and often humorous) explorations of the female image. They make us look twice and then think again about female identity, women's lives, and how we represent them. Exploring the beauty and struggle of being a woman today, this is a book that is by turns, surprising, inspiring, and amusing, and one that women of every age will find resonant.

About the Author
Los Angeles-based photographer Marjorie Salvaterra's work is full of drama, wit, and provocation. Her roles as a wife and mother inspired her ongoing interest in female community and the roles of women around the world. Marjorie got her start in photography while on a film set in Morocco, and her startlingly unique work soon caught the attention of museums and galleries around the world, including the Griffin Museum in Massachusetts; Musee de l'Elysee, in Lausanne, Switzerland; the Rencontres d Arles in Arles, France; Duncan Miller Projects Gallery and MOPLA Opening Night Solo Exhibit in Los Angeles.
Her work was included in the George Eastman House Museum auction at Sotheby's, in New York, and she was a runner-up for the 2009 and 2010 Berenice Abbot Prize for Emerging Photographers. Originally from St. Louis, Missouri, Salvaterra attended New York University before moving to Los Angeles, where she currently lives with her husband and two children.
