identity and place PHOTO-SHOOT

I decided to do this small photo shoot in my bedroom with a mirror because I liked the atmosphere of the environment, also a persons room shows a lot about their personality because its years of accumulated information, which is often hard to fake, and can be a more reliable indicator of what someone is like.

We leave clues about ourselves in a space, either deliberately or unconsciously. The first sets of clues are, identity claims. These are deliberate statements we make to others about who we are. Maybe you use your space to tell someone about your culture, or the politics you believe in.

My room beyond the furniture, which isn’t really coordinated, it’s filled, and decorated, with fairy lights, candles and plenty of prints, colourful artwork, photos and cushions. It’s probably quite cluttered but it always feels cosy to me. As an artist, I’m a big day dreamer – so good lighting and comfy surroundings help me relax, while being surrounded by colour and images can inspire me creatively.

I actually decided that most of these were not really to my satisfaction and decided I was not going to use many of them.

This photoshoot was taken in my hometown back in portugal, this place is where I normally go on holiday to in the summer it is where i am re-united with my friends and in a way have more freedom to act as myself an do my own thing.

This photoshoot was taken at one of the many beaches in my hometown which is were I spent my time when im on holiday. I love to surf and swim in the wild sea and watch the waves crash, have a bonfire on the beach and have fun with my friends.
