Posing Gender (2010) -- Senior Thesis
The goal of Posing Gender (2010) is to emphasize the arbitrary nature of socially constructed gender traits by recontextualizing gender-specific poses and expressions in fashion and glamour photography. The models each worked to block out learned gender-specific poses and step into the role of the opposite sex. This role reversal emphasizes both natural/sexual differences between men and women as well as the socially constructed gender differences.
