In the identity unit in photography, I would like to capture the student identity of teachers in my photos. Teachers were all once students, therefore I would like to revive their identities of being students in the form of multiple photos with them performing, holding, or doing something that they did when they were in high school. I aim to bring back a nostalgic feel as long with levels of contrast which is presented when the teachers (the most mature ones in a school) revert back to students (the most immature ones in a school).
This photo is what I have taken for inspiration. The adult is grown but recreating a scene that occurred in his childhood, bringing him nostalgia and giving the photo a contrasting feel.
This photo is another inspiration as it features an old lady putting on her graduation gown once again. Her facial emotions tells the audience that she enjoys the nostalgia of going back to dressing in a previous phase of her life. I wish to capture similar emotion.

This is a humorous photo that attempts to bring nostalgia. The person dresses up as a baby and wishes to return to childhood. The nostalgic purpose is relevant and ideal, but the sets I will be taking will not be as humourous.

Her photos have the 1990s nostalgic feel as its aesthetic and include very interesting composition. The composition could be used for my set as it brings adults back to teenagehood. This inspires my set as I also hope to recreate teenage hood to bring nostalgia with interesting composition.
