Clothes make the man (Kleider machen Leute)
A TRANSFORMATION ON THE SPECTRUM OF GENDER
We live in a gender binary system, where you can't buy a single piece of clothing without first entering one of the two sections: "woman" or "man". Even when buying a white shirt or sneakers, an online shop will usually first force you to pick a gender.
Why don't we see the spectrum of gender more like different colors? Just like colors, the meaning of clothing changes over time and between cultures. Pink was considered a male color, roman warriors wore skirts to battle and in scotland kilts are still a thing.
But, in your present, in the culture you are living in, all those things feel like unchangable conventions which must not be changed.
Maybe clothing needs meaning, maybe without it something would be missing. Am I interested in wearing a dress EVEN THOUGH it is considered female or am attracted to it BECAUSE it is considered female?
Do we give the meaning to the clothes or do the clothes define who we are?
Both is true.
We Are…
Three pictures that look like they tell a short story.
I am not sure what they want to tell me, though. Moving forward through life, maybe. Trying to be oneself and free while finding a path forward into a world that is not always easy. Not sure.

Eine kleine Retro Serie. Wir haben uns überlegt das der Look an die 2000er Jahre angelegt sein soll. Der Kodak Porta 400 wurde 1998 eingeführt, also lag es nahe die Retro Bearbeitung an diesen legendären Film anzulegen. Dieser Film war beliebt für seinen besonders warmen cremigen Look.
Die Bearbeitung wurde realisiert mit Luminar NEO und Kamerafilter

A small retro series. We decided to create a look reminiscent of the 2000s. Kodak Porta 400 was introduced in 1998, so it made sense to create a retro edit using this legendary film. This film was popular for its particularly warm, creamy look.
The edit was created using Luminar NEO and camera filters.

Das Portrait
Yao Tsy ist zu Besuch, nicht nur für Portraits, aber eben auch. Bei den Bildern lege ich Wert darauf, die Schmuckkreation von Lena (lemascreations) einzubeziehen. Hingegen lege ich bei der Präsentation Wert auf die natürliche Ausstrahlung, die ohne Bildretouche einhergeht.
Danke Yao Tsy

This picture is one of my all time favourites. It is showing one of the rare moments in the interaction between model and photographer that I try to capture in my shootings.
