The two enterprising Otago Polytechnic photography students have produced 52 copies of a 52-page men's magazine which aims to showcase in an innovative way their work to date this year in the bachelor of fine arts course.
Each page is the result of a day-long photo shoot where up to 300 shots were taken before one was chosen.
The third-year students dressed themselves up as men for many of the pages and appear in almost every shot.
The writing and tone of the magazine is clearly tongue in cheek, but aims to get their work out in a way different from a normal exhibition.
Ms Hlavac-Green said they aimed to challenge the media's manipulation of identity and toy with people's ideas about gender.
School of Photography head Max Oettli said the two had created a women's magazine last year, so they decided to expand on the theme with a men's magazine this year.
Ms Johnstone said they had survived a late production hitch to produce the $50 magazines in time for a launch tomorrow at 5.30pm.
