A KALTBLUT exclusive menswear editorial. Photography by Oz Shemesh. The model is Reef Grinfeld. Styling and makeup by Bar Friedman.
“My name is Oz, I’m a photographer. My cast for this production was limited but quality only stylist and model. I thought about this production a lot and what I want to say and tell, I wanted to take a guy who is not a professional model and let him wear both women’s and men’s clothes and see how he would react to it and how much he would open up to the idea. I want to change the thinking in men about women’s clothing, that everything is free and everything is allowed and if you want to wear women’s clothes do it, it does not make less man.
Feel free to do whatever you want with yourself. People really liked the idea and wanted to take part, fly with the imagination, also the model really liked the idea and wanted to do it
So we set a day and went out early in the morning to take pictures. In my photo, I use the r5 canon, in daylight. All the photos took place in a park in Tel Aviv. Near the month of Pride. Through the photos, I wanted to convey a straight man who does not dry out to wear women’s clothes or women’s accessories. I think the magazine can give him a place for the freedom to be what he wants. And I hope that in the future it will change something in everyone, to be and wear what they want.
When I take pictures I have no gender, they are all the same. The main thing is that they feel comfortable and free. The model felt very relaxed and free. Felt he was doing something meaningful and it gave him confidence.”
