For this shoot I used my friend to try and capture images of the average masculine stereotype,

masculine stereotypes can be very harmful to men. Society often expects men to be strong, tough, and unemotional. This can lead to men feeling like they can’t express their emotions or seek help when they need it. It can also lead to men feeling like they need to be aggressive or violent in order to be seen as “manly.” These stereotypes can also be harmful to women, as they can lead to men feeling like they need to dominate or control women in order to be seen as “manly.”

It’s important to recognize that everyone is different, and there’s no one “right” way to be a man. Men should be allowed to express their emotions and seek help when they need it, just like anyone else. It’s also important to recognize that masculinity can mean different things to different people, and that’s okay.
