For my first photoshoot for the theme Femininity vs Masculinity, my aim is to take photographs of females and males, capturing the fine details of them. I will use different angles and have the main focus being close-up images.

My goal of the photographs is to be able to capture femininity and masculinity in a way that feels personal, hence the close up shots. I am also going to take photographs of objects that I feel could also represent femininity and masculinity alongside the portraits. When the photographs are all taken, I am going to experiment and see how much I like the object photographs and if I find they do fit in next to the close-ups as I imagine they would.

For this idea, I was slightly inspired by Nikita Pirogov’s work. Her work is based on comparing portraits with photographs of different scenery so to have an idea that links with my theme of masculinity and femininity, I am taking photos slightly different to what she has done but using the same sort of concept.
