Walks of Shame

In my latest photography project, I wanted to bring an interesting take to a discussion on gender roles. The black and white series depicts women in the act of a "walk of shame" (often a gendered term), and the color set depicts men in the same act. The women's series includes the reflection as a symbol of judgement, whereas the men's series is more dead-on and lacks the same feeling. The women's walks are meant to be obvious, but the audience has to take a closer look at the men to deduce what is going on. Both sets are meant to encourage feelings of isolation, contemplation and regret through the use of characters' body language and/or facial expressions. Although the color set may be taken as humorous in comparison to the black and whites (especially with my Mike Grog joke), the self-satisfaction on the face of the woman in color [ignoring the call] attempts to bring it full circle. 

Thanks to Nicole, Michelle, Elise, Jasmine, Nate, Elliott, Danny, Jabari and Monica for being good sports! Happy looking.
