Identity and Community Photoshoot

In this photoshoot, we walked around certain areas of town in order to capture elements of community and identity. I tried to focus my work on identity of communities reflected in the architecture of the area, such as English-style buildings and more colourful, unique building designs. I also managed to capture candid portraits that reflect a particular part of that person’s identity, such as their job or hobbies.

I think my photos highlighted in green are my most successful images as the distinctively capture the identity of a singular person or a group of people. The way the images capture both the person’s clothing as well as the surroundings around them, such as a building site or an area where a a particular community inhabit provides an easier outlook onto that person’s life through their career or hobbies.

I believe the images with a red cross through them are my least successful as the theme of identity and community can only be applied very vaguely, as majority of these images are close-ups of random buildings or have distractions in the image, such as other people on the trip taking images at the same time.

To edit these images, I will add a black and white filter and make the contrast slightly more exaggerated. This is to give them a similar appearance to the images in the archives, and provide a vintage atmosphere to the images.
