Photo Vogue Italia: Challenging Masculinity?

The 2018 Photo Vogue Festival for Vogue Italia will take place this November, and the theme this year is #EmbracingDiversity and  re-envisioning masculinity. In an article that came out on Tuesday in The New York Times, Alessia Glaviano, senior photo editor  at Vogue Italia, states that "things have changed in the fashion industry as far as what is considered beautiful, and usually when changes are made in fashion, and big brands change their image, that strongly effects culture and society." We talked about this idea in class, and I feel it is similar to cultivation theory in the way social media affects us.
Here are photos of the different representation of manliness, challenging the stereotype present in images and representations in mainstream media that if you are gay you are feminine and if you are heterosexual then you are hyper-masculine:

I feel like they may have been attempting to challenge male/masculinity stereotypes but did not look at how race and gender intersect in representations of men and how challenging black male stereotypes is not the same as challenging male stereotypes. For example, I feel the photo of a black man's abs reinforced stereotypes of black men as sexual objects, and cutting off the rest of his body and focusing on this one body part reflects racist images/caricatures that commodify black men and separate their body parts from them. I am wondering WHO is taking these photos? The subjects may be diverse but are the photographers?
