Pink floral pantyhose?

Seen as I spent 8 hours straight on my photography project yesterday, I thought I'd have a change and get my powerpoint presentation sorted for my Sex, Gender and Media Cultures class. We had to choose a book, magazine article, problem page, tv programme or online site, and create a short presentation, covering key points about sex, gender, presentation, advice, media, lifestyle and project of the self.

I've chosen this online article on pink floral pantyhose for men:

http://www.e-mancipate.net/articles/pink-pantyhose-for-men/pink-pantyhose-for-men-mantyhose.shtml

It's not very professional or of much length, but there are lots of points that can be made about it, and I've found it pretty easy to write about. Just need to make some final tweaks....

Now I need to work on my sketchbook, I've saved so many artist examples but they're all on my computer, which isn't going to help me gain marks! I've also brought a lot of my photography books back home so I'm going to have a nosey through those too. Here are some I've found:

Vinoodh Matadin
Amazing! Such a simple idea, but so effective.

Martin Parr


I tried to find examples of portraits that weren't of the face (or not the whole of it)

Luc Delahaye

At first glance, these don't seem to have much to them. Then you find out that Delahaye took them with a hidden camera, and their expressions become extremely interesting and intriguing. what are they thinking about?

Fashion photographer, Nick Knight


He shows that you don't need to use black and white photography to create sincere, disturbing images. The last one is especially dark, with it's clown-like appearance.

Right...off to get some pritt stick...............
