body image.

note: the following was pretty much just cut and pasted from my old art blog.  it was my final project for digital photography 1.

___________________________________________

these photos represent the effects of over-sexed advertisements, such as abercrombie and fitch ads, on the gay male population. advertisers and the media attempt to appeal to gay males by using images of unrealistic "perfect" bodies, with the goal that gay males will buy whatever theyre marketing because the gay male consumer aspires be like the models in the ads. because of this, gay males over-analyze their own bodies, and have distorted unhealthy perceptions of themselves. 

(and though my intent was specifically about gay males, i think that the general idea can be related to anyone).
