Definition – Secrecy is the practice of hiding information from certain individuals or groups who do not have the “need to know”, perhaps while sharing it with other individuals. That which is kept hidden is known as the secret.

“Kept hidden away from the knowledge of others.”

Synonyms : Lies, classified, private, confidential, camouflage, mystery, isolation.

Secrecy links directly with hidden locations such as abandoned or derelict sites that are guarded against discovery. These often become secrets due to the fact that nature takes over these man made structures, hiding them from people.

Secrecy also has direct connotations with identity and how people will try to keep their personality or identity confidential. This kind of photography often results in surrealistic images which helps to portray this sense of hidden identity.
