EVERY BODY
Angelina Vernetti
Her focuses are also reflected in the photo project EVERY BODY. Angelina Vernetti plans her photo project EVERY BODY as a utopian narrative of feasible beauty ideals that reflect the majority of society and enable a life of greater satisfaction. "My work portrays women and their stories," says the young photographer. "It tells about fears, desires, doubts, discipline and happiness."
Angelina Vernetti (* 1993 in Lüneburg, DE) lives and works as a freelance photographer in Berlin. Her focus is on portraiture, fashion and art. She works e.g. in editorial for magazines like Der SPIEGEL and GEO Magazine, photographs commissioned art for architectural firms or teaches fashion photography at the Burg Giebichenstein Kunsthochschule Halle. For documentary long term projects Angelina researches and photographs socially relevant but underrepresented topics.
For example, her works tell of the socio-cultural effects of the birth control pill (SMILE EFFEKT, 2020) and of beauty ideals and their consequences (EVERY BODY, 2022). In 2020 she graduated with a bachelor's degree in documentary photography at the University of Applied Sciences and Arts Hannover.
SMILE EFFEKT
Every second woman in Germany takes the birth control pill. Manufacturers convey the image of a «Lifestyle product»: better skin, beautiful hair, less weight, separating sexuality from fertility. However, side effects include a tendency towards a decreasing hormonal contraception. As common as the drug it is, its socio-cultural status and health effects are rarely consciously discussed.
