REVERSED

Reversed project is series of diptychs that challenges the long history of male photographers photographing female nudes. In addition to photographing women, I put myself in their position, letting them take photographs of me. I would give them the opportunity to reverse the gender bias, making them director and allowing them to explore male nudity through the camera lens. Using a neutral backdrop, minimal props and similar lighting, the photographs align the male and female gaze in a search for equality and a celebration of different kinds of beauty. While I'm being photographed, models are welcome to explore light, composition and position and are not limited in any way whatsoever. Bodies are not retouched or manipulated beside the simple toning.
