» Sophia Wallace "No fashion, please!"
“…what we see in pictures in terms of gender, [it] is not natural, it is a construct…”
“…they become like not real men anymore… so why is that? and what does that mean? and what does that mean about what we think about women? if femininity invalidates masculinity? So… hopefully I’m also trying to talk about misogyny while I’m also looking at constructions of masculinity. And I think it’s really exciting to do that on men’s bodies…”

In this video, photographer @SophiaWallace talks about her project, “On Beauty” and how it raises questions around ideas about masculinity, femininity, gender, misogyny, and what it means to be viewed as a “man”.
It’s very interesting to hear her talk about the intentions behind her work as well as the process that went into creating the images.
Check it out.
