Masculinity

My Masculinity photos were in response to Clare Rae’s work, Never Standing on Two Feet. The inspiration I took was the location, her work was based around the sand dunes and bunkers on several beaches in Jersey. So I went to St. Ouen to take pictures of myself near a bunker and a fallen tree. Her work is still very different to mine but I feel they have the same energy.

My work:

Rae’s Work:

I also made some in black and white to better match Rae’s pictures:

I wanted to recreate Rae’s photos of her with a grey stone background:

Which is why I mainly wanted to go and take pictures of me in front of a similar type of wall. I felt mine had more detail with the scratched graffiti behind me:

I think I represented Rae’s photos very well while at the same time producing the photos my way.
