Eric Myer:
Stereotypes Editions: I & II
Stereotypes: Edition I
Myer's work based around stereotypes is presented in a unique way, on his website you can click the top half of one photo and the bottom half of another photo and on the right it is combined, creating a new person and a new personality. With this way of presentation, you are breaking stereotypes, which was the aim of Myer's photoshoot.
Instead of simply photographing people of different ages, race and cultures, he has made it possible to combine them.
Stereotypes:
Edition II
In the second edition of eric myer's stereotypes photoshoots, they are in colour this time. With clever manipulation, when you now click the top of a photo and the bottom of another photo, the skin colour will change to match. This time, due to there being colour, along with a larger difference in each model, you can create an even more noticable difference betwen the original photos and the new one.
