Her Take: Rethinking masculinity exhibits the work of seven female photographers at VII agency to explore masculinity through the female perspective from a variety of different backgrounds. The exhibition was held in New York in 2017, and although I have not been able to physically visit, it is important to reflect on the way other female artists approach the subject of masculinity across cultures and how this can impact my own practice.

My most notable of these approaches were:

Sara Terry

She uses compositions from historical art to reverse gender roles and therefore change perspectives about contemporary masculinity.

Jessica Dimmock

Dimmock photographs transgender women who live as men and only as women in secrecy.

Nichole Sobecki

Nichole Sobecki has produced some of my favourite work; she captures moments that challenge stereotypes and show unseen perspectives.
