Identity moodboard

My ideas

My ideas for how I would like to go ahead with my piece is I will be taking mainly black and white images as I enjoy the entire feel that it gives off. The lack of colour shows a lack of or a damaged identity. In the sense of gender identity, if the image is black and white, It could display that there is a clear struggle for figuring out who you really are. I would particularly like to explore either gender identity or lack/loss of identity with the concept of them being black and white, as I prefer a darker and more overwhelming approach to the topic.

I’m particularly inspired by Diane Arbus, Lara Gilks and Ralph Eugene Meatyard’s concepts which create very disturbing and unusual photographs which I am extremely interested in. Rosita Delfino and Claude Cahun are other good examples but they don’t hold exactly what I’m looking for compared to the others.
