Creative Portraiture Edits [social identity]

CREATIVE EXPERIMENTS

These creative experiments were made surrounding the topic of social identity and how people portray themselves within society and how other people portray them, not specifically to the subjects of the image but in general as a society how people seem to see themselves as individuals.

I will probably use other styles of photos in my prints selection due to the purposeful use of grain in these images which could effect the printing process. However I would like to compile 4 of these images as on of my A3 prints.

Influences / Inspiration

This style of work which I have used in this collection of work is inspired by various photographers and graphic artists including: David Carson, Lester Beall, Neville Brody, Paula Scher, and Shepard Fairey (the creator of the OBEY brand.) Here is some of their work…

The work also was influenced by Russian graphic propaganda. This was a way of representing the topic of  social identity as a battle within my work.
