Beautiful men and handsome women interest me. I am struck by the complexity of holding disparate polarities. Strict codes of gender are often taken for granted leaving all of us at various points in our lives policed for over stepping an unstated boundary. In my work, I seek to aestheticize this space of in-between– where gender overlaps. This series is my latest project in an ongoing exploration.

Selections from the Series

Feature Shoot is run by photographer and photo editor, Alison Zavos, and showcases work from up-and-coming photographers alongside work from established photographers who have completed a project or whose work has taken on a new direction.

The site covers commercial and non-commercial photography, and is a resource through which photo editors, art directors, art buyers, industry professionals, and people with an interest in photography can discover new talent. A selection of photographers are interviewed to give an insight into their intent and process, as well as to inspire and motivate their peers.

Westernizing the human body has become a new form of globalization, and the homogenization of appearance has made Beauty into a crude universal brand. - Zed Nelson

The project is strongest viewed together, I can’t break it apart by showing one or two pictures in isolation.
