| Portraiture Photography |

These photographs show a bit of what I'm trying to go with my concept. Personally, I think that most of these photos capture the idea of identity and they've interpreted it in a way of pushing into society to try and fit in. 

I really like this photo of this girl. She has grasped the idea of loneliness and has 

separated her actual face with a duplicate on paper. I think what this photograph 

is trying to say is, that hiding yourself or your identity behind closed door is something

young people tend to do. To show who are and where you belong to is something we

should all be proud of. 

In this image we recognise a man looking outside from inside a room I suspect.

The shadows that reflect onto his face shows maybe insecurity. Being held up in a 

room wanting to just go out there. The closure through the binds shows what is 

outside compared to how feel as an individual.

This is my favourite image. This photograph by Senol Zorlu captures the concept

of identity. I've interpreted this image as an image of a poor little girl trying to reach out.

She has been identified as a little girl 'trying' to come into this world but is difficult

due to the small hole (pathway) she is trying get out from.  

| Artist Models |

The two modern artist models that I have found so far that portray my concept are Senol Zorlu and Sarah Cheng-De Winne. These two photographers mainly focus on identity and yourself is expressed in a comfortable environment.

Senol Zorlu is a Turkish photographer living and working in Germany. Zorlu focuses on portraying people, places and their cultural. Most of his photos specialize in documenting cultures and traditional life ways of Asia, Latin America and Africa.

Sarah-De Winne is a freelance photographer that specializes in portraiture, fashion conceptual photographer that represents identities photography. At the age of 20, Winne was trained in Art & Design and first picked up fashion photography as it led to making social commentary about the way women's were exposed through the Eight:For the Urbanized Woman. Sarah's self-portrait project illustrated her desire to use her own unique perspective to discover women's issues and her identity as an artist.
