To summarize briefly this story by Laura Green is about redefining a male dominated sport and portraying it as feminine. It defies gender norms and stereotypes. When I read the text I made a list of main components: weightlifting, femininity, training, competition, and winning. From there I made a contact sheet with 15 images that touched on those themes.

I began making several layout using images that were most visually appealing, and quickly learned that wasn’t going to work. I shifted my focus on images that had good directionality and captured the essence of the story.
