After a month of miscellaneous projects I finally settled on working on pictures that depict the relationship between a person's real life representation and the persona they create for themselves on the internet. To represent this concept visually, it was decided that I should get each person to cover their face with a username or nickname they use regularly online. It could be anything; from the first part of their email address to their Xbox user tag. I decided early on, to give the person depicted a bit more privacy, that I would endeavour to not specify where the usernames are in use.
This initial image was taken at the end of November.
After having the concept explained to her, "pandimensionalchicken" excitedly offered up her username to the project. She was very proud of her username which had been adapted from a nickname given to her in her teenage years.
