Below are my final images for the identity project. I have chosen these images because they clearly show the theme of identity and lack of identity, they are eyecatcing and create a question for the viewer of how their identity is made up.

final image one

This is one of my final images because it captures and shows the theme of lack of identity. The colours work together well and are eyecatching too, which will draw in viewers. The captions are subtle but do still hold the same power and share the same message as to if there were bold. If they were bold it would distract from the images below them, which would mean that the aestethics and overall look of the image would be lost. The image shows how people change and will lose their identity throughout this process, and this can clearly be seen where the faces have been smudged and the images arent in focus. If i were to make this image again I would try to blur the faces more, as then it would show how the people have been changed. I could also progressively blur the faces to show a change the images, to portray the notion of identity changes.

final image two

This is one of my final images because it clearly shows how peoples identities are comprised of different elements that make the person who they are. By placing them on one sheet makes the images look more effective than displaying them separately. This is because on their own, the images have no story or link to anything. If i were to make this piece again i would try to get more images as the more images the more i could portray my point of how identity is made up of lots of elements.

project evaluation

Overall I think the identity project went well, I learnt how to create interesting and eyecatching pieces that hold a message for the viewer to find and interpret for themselves. I consolidated my skills with taking portrait photographs, although they still arent perfect. If i were to do this project again I would try to link to formal identity, passports, and how they do not show our true identity. This is because I think it would look effective. I would also try to take more photographs because then I would have more images to work with and choose from.
