"Work Wear": breaking stereotypes about professions through a photographic lens

All doctors write in such a way that no one can read them except their flatmates and pharmacists. This is just one of the stereotypes about people with certain professions. Many prejudices are attributed to the task or uniforms, because work clothes often mislead us about the true character of an individual. Because clothing makes a person, even if it is only a mandatory professional activity. Well, photographer Bruno Fert proves that this is not true.

It's probably hard to imagine a surgeon in his spare time in a leather jacket and pants, with a chopper and tattoos on his shoulder? In some professions, work clothes also mark us outside the workplace.

People are more than a job.
