Photographer Joel Parés explores the judgmental stereotypes that are placed upon people’s appearances in his powerful photo series, ‘Judging America’.
In his project, Parés presented his subjects in a series of before-and-after portrait GIFs. He dressed his subjects in stereotypical outfits and photographed them in provocative poses before revealing their actual professions.
His work probably serves as an strong reminder for us to not judge people based on their physical appearances or origins.
Take a look at Parés’ work below, or hop over to his website to view the full collection of GIFs in his project.
