'Alone Time," Photo Series By JJ Levine, Challenges Traditional Notions Of Gender
"'I never alter body shapes or gender traits digitally [...] These images are convincing by no means other than costume, makeup, pose, and gesture. This technical detail further demonstrates that bodies and gender presentations can be malleable or subject to change without the help of airbrushing or other digital techniques to create such an optical illusion.'"

everyone with the skills oughta take the Alone Time challenge lol... unfortunately, unlike JJ Levine, i don't have access to full studio lighting, worked alone, and my bathroom photographs very orange. so the levels-work is obvious, but other than that (and the shopped-out ponytail,) it's just a simple frame splice. the post-work of deciding on which of like 50-each poses presented together best took longer than anything else by a lot.
i want to try this again in the daylight, where the light would be better and the details a little sharper.
the beardburn is the same makeup i use on my eyebrows. in the spirit of the series, i didn't like... mess with my face in paintshop (more than already do with my complexion.)


i'm not trying to disassemble the pro-gay message that went along with the gender malleability message by making us siblings, but personallyyyyy... i think he looks like a douche; little too much the moody type for me. :P i'd rather think we're a... brother.... sister... crime duo or something... equally gay.


...:iconseewhatididthere:


still cute, though.
and please go see the original series by the wonderful Mr. Levine!! :wave:
it's available at the bottom of the article page in the link.

I LOVE THESE POSES YOU WENT WITH IN THE END YESSSS 
And the colour adjustments make it look all old fashioned, I love how much your pants stand out. Just enough not to be distracting, but they offer a focal point/break the composition up nicely.
