Identity Picture 1:
Description:
For this identity picture, I chose to wear a very famine style dress with floral lace, sunglasses upon my head and also heels. I also took the picture in my apartment because it my other questionnaire answers, some of my friends had said that they see me in NYC in my apartment. I also chose specifically not to be looking at the camera although the picture does seem posed because in most of my Instagram pictures I am not looking directly at the camera yet the pose I choose usually seems planned. I also chose to look very happy and lively because all of my interviewees has said that they see me smiling and being pleasant. Therefore, those assumptions about my persona gathered from my friends shaped approach to this picture.
Identity picture 2:
Description:
This picture captures my vanity/desk that I spend a lot of time interacting with in my daily life. I chose to capture in this picture the beauty products that I use along with my personal aesthetic. Some of my questionnaire interviewees had said that they see me in my apartment having a beauty day or pamper day therefore they pictured me doing something that a typical girl would be doing. The picture shows not only moisturizer and cleanser but also facial masks, body creme and a cute mug with a sweet saying on it. I thought that this picture rightly and successfully captured in summary most of the assumptions about my persona/ character.
Identity picture 3:
Description:
For this picture similar to identity picture 2, I chose o capture more of the accessories associated with a very feminine girl. Captured in the picture includes; a brush, hair extensions, a curling wand, a hair blow dryer, and several perfumes. I feel that this picture captures the assumptions made by my interviewees.
Identity picture 4:
Description:
I chose to include this picture in my photo essay because when I asked most of those that I chosen to interview about what colors, clothing, accessories they saw me wearing most mentioned what this picture is showing here. This pictures shows a pink peplum style dress, with a statement necklace, a brand name bag, sunglasses and some heels.
Identity picture 5:
Description:
This picture has a similar theme to my last two pictures. This picture shows my desk/vanity with perfumes and makeup. It also captures a very girly aesthetic. I feel that this picture really does capture the assumptions made by the interviewees.
