Begun in 2019, \u003ci\u003eWhen I Think About Power\u003c\/i\u003e investigates and expands the contemporary reimagining of men through themed chapters. \"I'm fascinated with the intersectionality and the layers of what it means to be Black in the modern day,\" he has said. \"From masculinity, queerness, to dress, I strive to utilize image-making in a way that displays people like myself in all of their power and all of their beauty.\" Hart's approach stems from his own journey toward self-acceptance growing up in Macon, Georgia. By visually exploring the differences and similarities between himself and the men who surround him, studying the words of Black queer icons and researching the visibility of power in eras such as the Ming dynasty or ancient Egypt, Hart has created an iconography of a power that so many queer individuals seek.\u003cbr\u003eThe work of Brooklyn-based photographer \u003cb\u003eEric Hart Jr.\u003c\/b\u003e (born 1999) has been published in \u003ci\u003eRolling Stone\u003c\/i\u003e, the \u003ci\u003eWashington Post\u003c\/i\u003e, the \u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003ei-D\u003c\/i\u003e magazine, and has been praised by artists such as Beyoncé and Spike Lee.
