A psychological identity relates to self image (one's mental model of oneself), self-esteem, and individuality.

In psychology, identity is the qualities, beliefs, personality, looks and/or expressions that make a person (self identity) or group (particular social category or social group).  Categorizing identity can be positive or destructive.

Gender identity is the personal sense of one’s own gender. Gender identity can correlate with assigned sex at birth, or can differ from it.

Social identity is the portion of an individual’s self-concept derived from perceived membership in a relevant social group.

Cultural identity is the identity or feeling of belonging to a group.  For example religion, class, ethnicity etc.

loss of identity  can sometimes be accompanied by a loss of self-worth.  Not having a part of individuality.

Geographical identity is an individual or group’s sense of attachment to the country, region, city, or village in which they live.

Cultural identity is the identity or feeling of belonging to a group. It is part of a person’s self-conception and self-perception and is related to nationality, ethnicity, religion, social class, generation, locality or any kind of social group that has its own distinct culture.

Social Identity is the portion of an individual’s self-concept derived from perceived membership in a relevant social group.  Social identity theory is described as a theory that predicts certain inter-group behaviors on the basis of perceived group status differences, the perceived legitimacy and stability of those status differences, and the perceived ability to move from one group to another.

These are the two identities I feel I would like to explore into a bit more depth into the mock exam and for my final prints.  Photographers that I have enjoyed exploring and researching which I feel I would like to find my inspiration from have been Philip-Lorca diCorcia.

Philip-Lorca diCorica’s work has a cinematic feel to it which I enjoy and would like to bring through, it looks like they could be screenshots from films which I enjoy and is something I would like to try and create and would need the work of Tableaux.

My initial ideas are to have a series of photographs in a collective group around the theme of Identity and then work back into the photographs with writing or initially writing on the persons hands or a visible feature in the photograph relating to their identity.
