Women have altered and changed as time has, so for one of my photo shoots I want to show how they have changed through time and show them changing. I want to do this by having a women model dress up in these different outfits, so I can show each decade. This fits into the theme of femininity, because it shows how ideas and stereotypes of femininity and how femininity should look also change through time. This suggests that femininity isn’t just one defined thing, and can be seen and presented in many different ways, as it changes constantly.

Stereotypes

Stereotypes is also going to be another photo shoot I am going to attempt for males and females, because I can use different emotions, colours and careers in this photo shoot. For example, women are too emotional and should be mothers, or men are aggressive and should be strong and tough. This fits into the theme of femininity and masculinity, because it suggests to people how men and females should be, or how they are. It also tells people what is feminine and masculine.

Nature

For my final photo shoot I am going to use different nature elements to portray femininity and masculinity. For example, flowers could be associated with females and femininity, so they could be a prop I could use to show femininity. Another way I can use nature to look into the themes of masculinity and femininity is by choosing a setting that matches masculine and feminine stereotypes.
