Identity Photography

- What is Identity?
How someone sees and portrays themselves. 
- How does their work address identity? 

 It explore how people feel about themselves and things they may not show the world. 
- What do you like about their work? (What do you admire about their work? Why did you choose it? What inspires you?) 
I like the honesty and the rawness of their work.

what they have in their life, how they are portrayed. a busy background shows a crazy hectic life, whereas a blurry blank background shows mystery.
