“Carry the weight of the world on his shoulders” Photographic paper Digital photography Russia 2019
This is a digital photograph depicting a male back, as a typical way of portraying strength through a male body. Russia is widely known for its military male dominated power, a stereotype I am questioning. The use of light and contrast emphasises the outline of the toned muscles. Again, there is no face shown, which forces the audience just to focus on that specific body part. The absence of the personality, unifies the male population as a whole, showing the stereotypical physical strength.
