And switch! Photographer Hana Pesut, 30, has been photographing couples, friends and family in their own outfits, and then again in each others', since 2010 for a series called Switcheroo



Ms Pesut told the Globe and Mail: 'It’s a nice way to take a portrait and to see the way couples interact with one another. To see how much fun it is for them to see each other in each other’s clothes.

'A couple of guys have not liked it. They act like their girlfriend tricked them into doing it. Others are good sports. They know they look funny. It’s all just for fun.'



While exploring gender, identity and disguise with the project, the photographer also wants people to 'interpret it in their own way.'

Book project: Ms Pesut began chronicling the images on her blog sincerelyhana.com, before she complied them for an up-coming book which she is currently raising funds for through Indiegogo

The idea first came to Ms Pesut, who works as a deejay and handles social media for a company in the entertainment business, while on a camping trip with friends.



She told Glamour magazine: 'I didn't really plan for Switcheroo to be a project, it kind of just happened.

'I was camping with some friends and two of them were dressed in very different styles. One was wearing tie dye, sequins, silk scarves and everything was very colorful, whereas the other was wearing black jeans and a black T-shirt, so we thought it would be fun for them to switch outfits and I decided to take before and after photos.

Not so sure: The photographer admitted, 'A couple of guys have not liked it. They act like their girlfriend tricked them into doing it. Others are good sports. They know they look funny. It’s all just for fun'

Boy meets girl: Ms Pesut said, 'Some of the men are usually a little unsure of what they are getting into but once they are actually in the women's clothing they realize it's not so bad, sometimes they really pull it off!'

'After that day, I would see couples walking in the street and I would wonder what they would look like in each others outfits so I thought it would be fun to find out.'

So she began chronicling the images, which she takes at locations that resonate with each couple, on her blog sincerelyhana.com, before she complied them for an up-coming book which she is currently raising funds for via Indiegogo .



'I think people find it really intriguing to see someone that they are close with dressed up as them,' she said.

Final cut: Ms Pesut is publishing a 64-page book of some of her favorite images, which she hopes to have printed in January 2013



'Some of the men are usually a little unsure of what they are getting into but once they are actually in the women's clothing they realize it's not so bad, sometimes they find it really comfortable and sometimes they really pull it off.
