Gender Photography


Andy Karol

During my research i came across Andy Karol. He's a   Chicago Portrait and Fine Art Photographer Andy is most known for photography that explores gender, sexuality, and feminism. I had not heard about him until now, and I am very interested in his work, after looking up stuff about gender and identity, I can honestly say i may have found the most visual way to express what was on my mind. People may argue if what if he does is right or wrong,  but as a individual  I believe men and woman are equally if not women higher, and Andy's photo shows that this really well in his images by having the men dress in women clothing but not completely, its half and half. he keeps the features of the men very visible on half of his body and the other he glams up. I always say 'what a man can do, a woman can do too'. but now Andy is showing us that, what a woman can wear a man can also wear. This does not make it the normally thing for every man out there  but its giving the chance to those men who perhaps want that.
