Religion is a big part of our society today, and to some people, it defines who they are. It forms cultures, and runs different countries to a certain extent. However, religion can sometimes be a dark thing. Although, it is a way of life and people get shear joy from worshipping to who they believe in.

For this image, I took a picture of Henry looking into the mirror and my idea was to blur out his face. However instead, I stretched his face out to make it look unrecognisable and strange. If I was to see this image and I didn't know anything about it, I would think, why is his face blurred out? It is to make it seem like your outside identity doesn't always define who you actually are.

This one is definitely one of my favourites. I put the mask on my face, stood in the college toilet and took this photo in the mirror. It gives that message that anybody could be a psycho - going through different problems - anybody.
I just decided to experiment with different effects on photoshop to make the colours contrast, and also to make me look a tiny bit more creepy.

For this photo, it focuses on gender.I called this one 'M E R G E' because it symbolises the two different genders merged together.

For this photo, I wanted to cover the eyes to hide our identities. It's crazy how you can't properly recognise someone that you know so well.

It was really hard to edit when you're not very familiar with photoshop and you know what you want.However, with a bit of experimentation, I started to get the gist of it. I was on a small time scale, but I was determined to get them done at a level that I am satisfied with

Once I knew what I wanted to do, I started straight away - however I needed some people to help me capture what I wanted, the main person that helped me through it was a guy called Henry Gillborn. He does Photography in the 2nd year and knew what I wanted to achieve. I chose to do gender differences and religion/cultural differences. Another student in my class called Myles Brown helped me with the religion/cultural photo as he is a different religion to me.

Strasser really caught my eye, especially with this image. Again, it leaves you confused - why is his face scribbled out? Is he scared or ashamed to show his true self? Is he lost? All these questions start blowing around in my head, dying to know the answers to a photo that is so simple, yet effective.

This photo was captured and edited by an artist called Mihaela Ivanova. This photo, among many others, caught my eye because there is just so many questions to ask about this photo – Why is she covering her eyes with somebody else’s? Who is that man? Is she sad? Why is she hiding who she actually is? And these sort of questions is what I want my audience to be asking.

This photo also caught my attention and thought it was effective. Again, there is so many questions – Why is she standing in front of a mirror with a mask on? Does this symbolise she’s lost herself, doesn’t know who she is anymore? Unrecognisable? Or even scared to show her true self?

For our photography project, we got given the theme of 'Embracing our Differences', this made it really difficult to choose one subject to photograph, but I finally came up with one subject - our identities. You never actually know who is behind somebodies identity, where they're from, what their background is, they’re fighting a battle nobody knows about, a false persona, mental or physical problems on the inside, absolutely anything.

I did a lot of research regarding my  subject, it was hard because I knew what I wanted to be inspired by and I couldn't find it - until I found these artists:
