A photo gallery about men can become a powerful space to question and expand the idea of masculinity. Through portraiture, it not only shows the body or appearance, but also vulnerability, identity, and the internal contradictions that men often do not allow themselves to express in their daily lives.

Such a gallery not only speaks about the men who are photographed, but also about the gaze that observes them: it allows the viewer to ask what it means to be a man today and how images can accompany processes of change, self-awareness, and the liberation from rigid roles.

This kind of work involves:

Exploring themes such as fragility, tenderness, loneliness, social pressure, and the traditional role of the “strong man”, creating room for emotions that are usually hidden.

Creating an intimate encounter between photographer and subject, where the man is invited to show himself without masks, which can have a healing effect and foster personal recognition.

Offering the public new images of masculinity: less focused on power or success and more on humanity, the diversity of bodies, ages, and experiences, helping to break stereotypes.
