Presentation on Gender, Gaze, otherness and photography
I missed this presentation sadly. Although I dont think this topic will help me much in my project as such because I wont separate superheroes based upon gender. Now, I researched a photographer who expertise's on this topic. Megan Magdalena Bourne.
This is what she says about what she does- Vancouver based photographer Megan Magdalena Bourne found herself interested in the different approaches to shooting men and women. “I was angry about having to censor my photos of women, and about gender in general. I was constantly getting my photos reported and deleted because they were ‘offensive’. So, I began recreating the photos I’ve had deleted from social media sites using boys.
Her work reminds me of what Sarah Maple does to an extent with females. Quite bold. Makes full use of what we know as the 'gaze'. More often it is the males with whom gaze is associated but in this instance due to fear from backlash, Magdalene used male models instead of female ones.
So whose gaze would these type of images attract? Female perhaps the homosexual man.
Almost the same thing by David Campany-
I am neither a collector or a photographer but I know that if a person really has a hobby or likes something and happens to be a photographer to he would definitely photograph them. Even if he weren't one he would click them. I think everyone does it. Someone might like clothes and click pictures of every piece of cloth she has bought.
