However, this mood board also includes stereotypes of women that I could also showcase in my photoshoot. These stereotypes include women being too emotional, or that women must be housewives and mothers. The colour pink is also stereotypically correlated with women. This mood board also includes places that typically suit a women or could be used as a background to make my photographs more feminine, such as meadows, or fields, as well as snowy fields, sunsets and flowery fields.

Masculinity Mood Board

This mood board includes ‘props’ or ‘tools’, which can be used for my photoshoot, to achieve a more masculine variety of photographs, such as weights, footballs, or the colour blue. This is because these are typically associated with males. There are also different outfits, such as suits and ties, or army camo clothes. Stubble could also be used to make the photoshoot more masculine. This mood board also includes stereotypes of men, such as they are fathers, aggressive and restrain their emotions. These stereotypes could be used to help position and pose my model, so they look more masculine.
