Male tears in a unique photo project. Photo

Men also have the right to tears.

The young but already promising photographer Mod Fernhout from Holland has dedicated his work to a somewhat unusual topic, which rarely discuss — is it possible for men to cry.

For 19-year-old student of the faculty of arts and Humanities Utrecht University photography has always been a way to Express yourself and tell about your opinion to help other people to do the same, to open up to the world.

“Be a man” is a phrase we hear since childhood, if not addressed to us, the boys, friends, brothers, and just passing by children on the street. This phrase I repeat to their sons of men, as they from an early age taught the parents. To be a real man means to suppress emotions, to behave as if they are not. A vivid example of men not supposed to cry, even in childhood.

Mod Fernhout told in the description of the project: “I believe that to show emotions and to be so Frank with the people around you is the testimony of inner strength, not weakness.” Models for the photo shoot were the classmates of the girl.
