| Hans Eijkelboom |

Hans Eijkelboom (1949) is a Dutch photographer who uses himself to investigate the influence of appearance and clothing on the relationship between the individual and identity. Eijkelboom gradually changed into the relationships between identity and worldview as he looked for a method to visualize how repeated daily observations and experiences slowly form our view on the world. Over the years, Hans Eijkelboom has dealt mainly with the relationship between the individual and masses ina globalizing society. Eijkelboom's work majorly forms a photo book. Eijkelboom has published over mor than 50 books and publications; his latest being, Portraits & Cameras 1949-2009, 10 Euro Outfits, Amsterdam by Numbers and New York by Numbers. In 2007 he exhibited at Foam with Paris-New York-Shanghai.

| Concept Ideas |

So its taken me a while to figure out what concept I wanted to do; and I've finally come up with  a concept that I know I will like and enjoy. My concept for 2014 is, 'Identity ~ Knowing your roots'.

What I'm trying to portray is society's perspective and opinion by facials on race and how its impacted in the twenty first century juxtaposed to the earlier centuries where racism was a big issue and was very difficult to find out who you really were & questioned if they had a purpose in life. Through my concept I am wanting to enhance the idea of unity, community and becoming as one, no matter what race you are and where you come from, to make the world and especially where you live a better place.

I have found 2  modern artist models that mainly focus on identity and yourself is expressed in a comfortable environment.
