Androgynous Portrait Photography By NY Photographer
Auriel Haze, 19, resides in New York City and is pictured as part of the portrait series, "Androgynous". “Androgynous” is a portrait series focusing on people with a single sex who have a combination of both masculinity an femininity in their physical appearance. The subjects are a mix of people who identify with different sexual orientations and genders, breaking assumptions based on current prescribed gender roles. Through the series, I hope to challenge current gender classification and question the way they see current culture gender frameworks and beauty. Through the series I propose male and female dualities are interconnected and complementary forces instead of opposing, thus creating a fluid spectrum of gender and sexuality where the whole is greater than the parts. Shot in New York City, Jonathan Hanson’s gender fluid portrait series highlights individuality and authenticity, blending documentary realism with refined portrait photography in a project featured by The Washington Post.
