Yann Fauchers modern masculinity series captures emotive photos of young men. I was drawn to the series as I like his choice of models and how the shoot captures them in raw, vulnerable ways. When you first see the images I feel the body of his subjects is the first thing you look at and then their faces. I think you notice their body from the way they are posing, often lying down which excentuates it and as they are shot topless or in underwear. As you keep looking at the images I feel you begin to connect their body language and facial expressions to how they may be feeling. The images show the men in detail but remain mysterious. There is often little space around the subject and the colours are very neautral and soft. I think the feelings behind the work are to capture moden masuclinity in softer, romanticized way. I think the images show men and their bodies in raw, natural ways and do not represent any modern stereotypes.
how long does it take to shoot one photo?
