When I say "objectification"
This is a HUGE topic for discussion, objectification reaches far deeper than sexualization and is based in dehumanization - I can never participate in dehumanization. Ever. There is no fun in that. Not even a little.
These links will take you to image search results for what I have learned means to objectify someone in photos.
Some of these will be hard to look at.
Sudan - maybe should intervene, just saying.
Abu Ghraib - trophies, sexualization, demonstration of power
Orientalism - access, trophy, sexualization
suggested reading on Orientalism
Orientalism, Edward Said, Random House, 1978
Colonial Harem, Malek Alloula, 1986
Postcards of lynchings -- trophies, demonstration of power
Anti-Beauty Standards NSFW - sexualized
Beautiful Women - sexualized
just for funsies Beautiful Men - sexualized
mmm haircolor
Blonde - sexualized
Brunette - sexualized
Redhead - sexualized
Ginger brings up food and cats, I think we're safe from rule 34
Women Self Portraitists, actually, these are mostly pretty great.
Until you get to photography
But generally Objectification is objectification
I think I've been on this path for a long time. My favorite image subjects are actual objects, street (minus people) and landscape more than photos of people, I like quirky mise en-scenes and I prefer patterns juxtaposed with randomness.
