My Daughter Breaks All The Girl Stereotypes And I Try To Capture That In My Photographs (26 Pics)
25Kviews
I grew up as a single child in a little home set in a small urban community. I was raised by a single father who worked during the day and was an artist in the evenings. Now, I am a stay at home father, and an artist, helping to raise my daughter, Haley.
This photo essay titled “Long Summer Days” follows my daughter's journey through childhood as she struggles with the boredom of living as a single child in the same small home where I grew up. We largely choose a device-free lifestyle for her, which leads her to explore the world and envelop herself in her imagination and creativity. These images include subtle undertones and rich metaphors that disrupts the stereotypes of girls while highlighting my daughter's delightfully unconsciousness strength, independence, defiance, and playfulness.
She is at an age where she is developing her strong personality and it is a culmination of all these elements which I am capturing and documenting.

I have seen this one in several places, but here on boredpanda, I am really liking it. Seems to have better definition than some other sites....

This looks like the cover of a scary movie. Just add a clown or something

Haley At 4 In A Chair
Yep. Breaking that good old “chair” girl stereotype. Great to see a girl finally sitting in a chair instead of floating for once.

I did that too lol. The only difference is that my parents yelled at me and called me gross for it, which I can now understand cus birds can carry nasty diseases.

Awesome photos, odd title. Hopefully it will be changed at some point
How do these photos break stereotypes?
The title is stupid and misleading (the pics are nice, though)
