Ken Series Photographer Bringing Interactive Exhibit to New York
The pop-up features an inclusive cast of life-size Ken doll models.
Photographer Courtney Charles has created a sexy series that deconstructs various stereotypes. Ken features male models in plastic form, giving them the doll treatment and representing social media facades in a hyper-realistic style.
"With the Ken series, I hope to show that there isn't just one common ideal of the modern man," Charles says. "Regardless of who you are, you can still be the 'plastic-perfect' version of yourself."
