New Direction

After giving it plenty of thought, i have decided to take my folio in a slightly different direction. My new focus will be based on "Male Stereotypes" and how we perceive the Male gender. The way we perceive a "typical Male" has changed drastically throughout the years; in the way we act, dress, and what takes our interest. I will be showcasing this in my photography. Since I am very keen on the subject of fashion, i will mostly be photographing different styles of clothing (at this stage). 


The idea for my first panel is to show the different types of male stereotypes we have today. I will first showcase the more "Manly" stereotypes there are such as those that are interested in: Sports, Cars, Building, Working out etc, and then I will move on to the more "Feminine" or "Metrosexual" Male stereotypes that are interested in things like: Fashion, Self pampering, Hairstyles, and so on.



Below is a proof sheet of the photos i have taken for the "Metrosexual"photoshoot.

Tell me what you think.
