Nude: Honorable Mention 2017 (professional)
ENTRY DESCRIPTION
THE QUEEN MAN
We all have in us, whether we are a man or a woman, the masculine and the feminine.
The relationship that man has with femininity may sometimes be a little complicated.
Between the feminine and the masculine, there is between the two, masculine or feminine with an important part of the other sex and that one is hetero or homosexual.
In these photographs, I place the man confronted with his fear and his complexes, anonymously, ornamented with a headdress.
With each of these morphologies, I adapted a pose, an attitude, a gesture by highlighting their share of femininity.
