Misan Harriman has photographed stars including Angelina Jolie and Olivia Colman.
Speaking at his 'Storytelling The Future' event at London's Huckletree Public Hall this week, the photographer and social activist commented on "the hyper-sexualisation of women"."If you see how I shoot women in particular, it's very much, I hope, a representation of who they are," Misan remarked.
"I've shot some very famous actresses and I'll say, 'Why are you moving that way?' For years, men have been shooting them like they're a cold cut on the table." He added: "Women have not been able to tell their stories. The hyper sexualisation of women is fine when it's coming from a woman's point of view, but when it's a man's, nah."The father-of-two also spoke about his fears for his "two little ladies".
"I'm a man that's seemingly comfortable in talking about vulnerability and wearing it as a badge of honour and I think we need more men out there that are influential," Misan continued, adding that children are the most at-risk of "hyper misogyny" being preached online."It can get to the most vulnerable of us which are kids who are still forming themselves."
Misan, who was encouraged to pursue professional photography by his wife, added that the camera has become his "sword and shield" in his fight for the truth."Photography, for me, is a way to help people ask themselves the big questions without being shouty or judgmental,""There's a quote that says 'Raise your words, not voice. It is rain that grows flowers, not thunder', and I think that's the thing about photography. There's an intimate stillness.
