There are a lot of discussions going around today about gender norms and roles. People are beginning to defy them more and more, stepping out of their 'traditional roles' and being who they want to be, instead of what society expects them to be. Photographer Nir Arieli from Israel is helping defy these norms by capturing the feminine and gentle side of men.
The photographer started a project where male models pose, look, and present themselves in a gentle, serene, and beautiful way, instead of the usual way men are represented in media. Nir wants to show the vulnerability and emotions in men with his photos: "In this project, I try to expose a side in masculinity that I believe was oppressed by society throughout history. Gentleness and vulnerability are beautiful qualities that are not in the exclusive female emotional territory. Through this work, I try to find these qualities in the men I photograph, open a dialog about them, and remind the viewers that they are allowed to feel free and that they are beautiful when they do so."
