American Able



Photographer Holly Norris on her photo series "American Able", a spoof on the hyper-sexualized American Apparel print advertisements:

"Too often, the pervasive influence of imagery in mass media goes unexamined, consumed en masse by the public. However, this imagery has real, oppressive effects on people who are continuously ‘othered’ by society. The model, Jes Sachse, and I intend to reveal these stories by placing her in a position where women with disabilities are typically excluded."
