For my identity portrait, my inspiration is the type of photography that have solid color backgrounds and generally a table in front of them. In the photos, the colored background can generally provide the vibe and emotion in the scene of the shot, and I can utilize the table to place objects (clocks, food, paper) to provide context to the photo. This is because I want to take a set/series of photos that represent the change in mental state and mood of a student over a school day at ISB, and I can place a clock on the table to represent the passing of time, and the background can be chosen to correspond to the pose/emotion that I want in the specific photo.

Here are some examples:
