An Interview with Joel Meyerowitz

So i'm really excited about this week's post. I just found an article that is an interview recently done with Joel Meyerowitz. Joel Meyerowitz is my favorite photographer, so you could imagine my excitement when something new surfaces. Meyerowitz is an award winning street photographer who has been making photographs for 50 years. He had a major influence in changing the attitude about color photography, however regardless of that, reading this interview with him is totally worth it.

Stripped Down Portraits Expose The Problem With Stereotyping Masculinity As Violent

This article is out-dated, but it's a good thing to see. So very often, people pair the terms masculine and violent together, creating a stereotype against men. However, there are men that exist that are not violent; men that are role models to other people.
The goal of photographer, Jodi Bieber, was to breakdown the connection between masculine and aggressive. She spends one to three hours with each subject in order for him to strip down his "invisible armor". For more information on this project, click the link below.
