Instagram of the Day: Modern Feminists Through the Eyes of Millicent Hailes
Millicent Hailes, a London photographer and director, has an Instagram account featuring herself and her female friends — open, free, and sexy. Millicent says she is a modern feminist, and judging by her photographs this term is very provocative for her. Her works were published in i-D, Dazed, and Vice. Millicent is also currently finishing the work of her first full-scale project — a book with photographs of her best friend.
“My photographs are about women owning their bodies and sexuality. Through my social media I aim to promote a positive body image and self control, — Millicent said in a comment to Bird In Flight. “A lot of models I find through Instagram. My photographs are taken by me, for women, and its mainly women who are positively responding to them.”
