Changing perspectives of the ones we love, is also at the heart of an exhibition by Mimi.

The 27-year-old Derby graduate, originally from Canada, has called her exhibition The Pink Lens Effect. Digital film portraits of men and women shift in seconds from a normal photo, to an altered and flawless one, to one shot with a pink tinge.

Mimi said: “The pink lens effect is what psychologists call the early period of a relationship when partners’ brains have difficulty seeing the flaws in each other, or you could call it seeing through ‘rose tinted spectacles’. I was interested in visually representing this occurrence, which can have both positive and negative results.”
