I will be trying to combine these two mood boards as I am inspired by the way Ralph Eugene Meatyard masks identity and Cerises Doucedes successful presentation of people in their own environment and thoughts

In my photoshoot I will try to focus on the binary opposites of masculinity and femininity and try to create a powerful narrative, by mixing clothing and accessories traditionally associated with each gender—such as pairing a tailored suit with delicate lace details or a soft dress with structured, bold accessories. Lighting can enhance the contrasts as well—using harsh lighting to accentuate strength and softer lighting to bring out vulnerability or softness. Split lighting, where one side of the subject is in shadow and the other is illuminated, can visually symbolize the opposing forces. For composition, I might place the masculine and feminine elements on opposite sides of the frame or use reflective surfaces like mirrors to show both sides of the subject’s identity. Props associated with each gender, such as boots or ties alongside flowers or jewelry, will deepen the symbolism, and playing with contrasting colours can further strengthen the mood. This approach will create a visual dialogue between masculinity and femininity, inviting the viewer to explore and interpret the boundaries between them.
