Collier Schorr

I found this artist's work to be particularly different and interesting.  The concept of masculinity captured into pictures is complex, especially when this photographer does it.  Taking photos of a boy posing in very feminine poses helps get at the idea that males need to feel masculine.  The boy who was in the photos made it known that he was acting, but her best photos came from when he let the concept of masculinity go and even did some "feminine" poses.  Collier Schorr's body of work wasn't really my favorite because her concept was a bit hard to grasp.  Her view on masculinity is different from the social perspective that is typically emotion-less.
