Seems fair enough to me.

What's the problem? She asks permission most of the time. She doesn't make it a big secret. She doesn't give out names. So what? It's art.

Looks like they even posed for her.

So will the exhibit include the story behind the catcall/harassment?

Otherwise viewers are agreeing these guys are catcallers/harassers based on nothing but her word.

Really interesting. Thanks OP.

Once a guy catcalls me, depending on the situation, I would either candidly take their photograph or walk up to them and ask if I can take their photograph. They usually agree and we talk about our lives as I make their portrait.

The fact that most of these men were perfectly happy to cooperate in having their picture taken kind of disproves the notion that most men who catcall do so out of misogynistic aggression rather than (misplaced) friendliness.

Surely the photographer must have realised this after talking to them, but for some reason I doubt she told them what the project would be called... Idk seems kind of deceitful if you ask me.

So she gets hit on......mostly by black guys?

I'm sure there's some kind of irony to this but I can't think of it. Maybe has something to do with the fact that women like her harp on how privileged their "oppressors" are and then when asked to point out who is oppressing them point to a group that has never historically been favored by the system.

So far looks rather racist, and sounds like a lot of potential for slander.

Maybe she should chase them with a gun and then get her husband and brother to beat them to death and throw them in a river.

Nah. Rape hysteria isn't the problem. Sexual harassment is.
