male photography

Photographing men is quite different from photographing women. Men want to be seen as powerful, strong, wealthy, mysterious, and intelligent. Conveying these strong characteristics involves different lighting and camera angles than used to photograph women. Intense color, strong texture, and deep shadow are techniques that can be used effectively in male photography. Contrasting the angular physique and textured skin of a male with the soft skin and curved features of females can produce excellent visual impact with fashion, advertising, and glamour photography.
