As humans, we categorize people based on stereotypes
and assumptions. The participants in this photo
exploration were volunteers that were asked to portray
stereotypes. These examples are not meant to be hurtful, they are meant to elaborate
on how easy it is to typify those we identify as “other” even if we, ourselves, are an
“other”.
