Men-Ups
I wish I had thought of this!

Men-ups!” is a humorous project by photographer Rion Sabean
featuring men doing pin-up-style poses. It’s interesting how much more
absurd some poses instantly look when they’re being done by men.

I've seen these before... I love them! Such a great example of the absurdity that our cultural image-making imposes onto women's bodies.
ReplyDeleteI frequently have women ask me to take pin-up photos for them. My personal standpoint is that pin-ups are all about character development and story telling. When requested, I take pin-ups for women because they have fun and so do I! Maybe this is just my 3rd wave self coming out. I want my cake, and would like to eat it too!!! http://heidibruner.com/pin-ups
ReplyDeleteI love the juxtaposition of the image and idea that this example provides. And I am sure that a more thorough look at the history of the pinup is needed for me to be able to understand all aspects of the image style. But, I do think the pinup image has come to represent an image of empowerment for women.
