Identity is the fact of being who or what a person or thing is, and can be influenced through place, upbringing, environment and belonging. The way someone is brought up, where they want to fit into and where they are can all effect the way someone identifies themselves. Identity can be explored through multiple forms, especially through photography, and many photographers have taken it upon themselves to express their identity through their work.
