Goddess, Reclaimed

A fine art portrait series by

A Portrait Series on Power, Narrative, and Reclamation

An open call for those ready to step into a powerful, story-driven portrait experience exploring narrative, identity, and reclamation.

In 2026, women are still navigating narratives shaped by silence, blame, and distortion. Stories that echo myths written thousands of years ago.

Goddess, Reclaimed is a fine art portrait series exploring those patterns through symbolic, editorial imagery.

Everyone will be photographed in a two-part series:
The narrative imposed upon her.
And the identity she claims for herself.

Drawing inspiration from Greek mythology, this project reimagines how women have been historically portrayed and offers a modern, visual rewriting of those stories.

This series will culminate in a public gallery exhibition, showcasing in print these stories told and retold in a new light.

What happens when the story changes?

Each participant will be cast into a narrative inspired by myth, translated through a modern lens.
The figure portrayed will be more symbolic and embodying a story that still exists today rather than “playing a character."

Punished
Restrained
Betrayed
Controlled
Objectified

Themes include:

Ignored
Blamed
Vilified
Trapped
Silenced

Themes & Narratives

One figure, Two stories told

This project goes beyond just a photoshoot.

Each selected participant will take part in a fully guided, editorial portrait experience designed around a specific theme.

You will be photographed in two distinct sets:

Part I — The Imposed Narrative
A dark, symbolic portrait exploring how women are labeled, silenced, or rewritten and the masks we wear.

Part II — The Reclaimed Self
A modern, editorial portrait capturing presence, power, and identity on your terms.

Every detail is intentionally designed:

  • Concept development
  • Styling direction
  • Professional hair and makeup
  • Expert posing and guidance

You do not need modeling experience, you will be guided through the entire process.
