Creative Identity
“Your creative identity is your internal representation of how you see yourself, a composite of your imagination, skills, and talents. A person that constantly comes up with creative ideas has a strong creative identity”. (Jeffery, Your Creative Identity, Date Unknown)
A person’s creative identity allows them to be unique and to stand out in their field of work, your creative identity is unique to you e.g. the way you create your art, your unique style, the tools you use to create etc.
In the video linked above by Michael Shainblum, he talks about how he found his own unique creative identity in photography and mentions that his style was “inspired by a collection of different artists”, therefore implying that a persons unique style takes shape over time, and is ultimately unique to every individual artist.

Creative Influence
“If you wanna talk about influence, man, then you've got to realize that influence is not influence. It's simply someone's idea going through my new mind”. - Jean-Michel Basquiat. Basquiat describes influence as a kind of transformation in ones mind, taking an old idea and putting it in a new context. (Alchemy Of Ideas, Dec 28 2011)
Social media platforms can play a big role for an artist looking for creative influence and motivation. As a creative practitioner I look for influences on platforms such as Instagram to help prompt ideas. Linked above is an Instagram page and an example of a photograph that has inspired me to create works that trigger ones imagination and cause the viewer to think deeper about what they are seeing. Below is an piece of my own work labeled ‘Frozen’ which was influenced by the above page.

Overdetermination
The concept of overdetermination is that the most small/insignificant events are the cause of a much larger single event or reaction. (Mansfield, Subjectivity, 2000) Overdetermination can be seen in our unconscious as we dream, our dreams are often the result of many small events that happened throughout our day.
In photography the idea of overdetermination is evident, as there are many different factors that need to occur before achieving a perfect photograph. This may mean that before you can capture the perfect sunset small factors such as the clouds being in the right position, camera settings etc, all determine your photograph. In the above diagram this can be seen as over time all factors ultimately lead to one result (e).

Essentialism
Coming from the word essence, essentialism is what you are. A persons ‘essence’ can resemble their identity. It is the idea that we have “a fixed ‘essence’ throughout our life whether it be our femininity, masculinity, race, gender etc”. (Barker, 2012, essentialism and anti-essentialism)
The idea of essentialism is that you are who you are and this cannot be changed. This may include your race, personality etc. Essentialism can be represented in the above quote by Dr. Seuss “Today you are you, that is truer than true. There is no one alive that is youer than you”. Simply saying your identity cannot be changed and you remain the same deep down throughout your life.

Fractured Identity
“Fractured identity can be defined as something we acquire over time through entry into the symbolic order of language and culture, It can be seen through processes of identification with others and with social interactions we create an identity through”. (Baker, 2007, pg.225)
The idea that every person has multiple different identities that are fractured throughout their life. One’s fractured identity can be described as them having numerous different identities at different times. The article above represents our multiple fractured identities, but how they are portrayed through our interactions with social media. The article suggests that whether we are using Instagram, Facebook, Twitter etc, we act differently and share content differently on each, thus supporting the idea that our fractured identity may not only include our real life identity but our online identity as well.

Sensory Knowledge
Sensory knowledge also referred to as ‘skin knowledge’ in David Howes book ‘Skin-scapes’ is the idea that a person acquires knowledge of the world through the touch of ones skin. Though, sensory knowledge can also be referred to the things you have experienced not only through touch, but through all the other four senses. This quote from Margret Cavendish “The skin is as knowing as the eye, the eye is as knowing as the ear, the ear is as knowing as the nose, the nose is as knowing as the tongue”, supports this and tells us that all five of our senses gather sensory knowledge. (Skin Knowledge, Howes, 2005)
The above video from ‘gettyimages’ portrays how all five of our senses can be used to appreciate art such as photography. The video explores the latest sensory trends in art including touch, taste and sight and how they can be used to more immerse the viewer in a photograph.

Social Identity
“The expectations and opinions others have of us”. Cultural Studies, Chris Baker. 2008. Pg. 218 This is the idea that ones social identity broken up into two separate parts, the first being self-identity which is made up of what we think of ourselves and the second being collective-identity which is what others think of us.
The plot of the movie twins demonstrates the idea of social identity that you enter into a world and are effected by the norms and attitudes that already existed before you were born. It also shows us that a persons social identity is build throughout their entire life, not just through childhood. In the movie each of the twins are raised and taught through the eyes of their carers, but as they grow older they start to perceive not only how they see themselves but how others see them, thus changing their social identities from when they were young.

Subjectivity
“Subjectivity is the lack of objectivity. Objectivity is the assertion that something IS exactly what it is regardless of how it is perceived. Subjectivity is the idea that what this something IS is dependent on how it is perceived”. (Webster, 2015)
Subjectivity can be seen as the idea that you are born into a world and are already subject to ideas that have happened before you. Then as you grow older you can view and see things in your own way. The above picture demonstrates how subjectivity is an individuals unique interpretation of something, that is not bias or changed by people and the world around them.

Unconscious
Do our minds sleep when our body does? Nick Mansfeilds book (2000) Sigmand Freud describes the unconscious as “Another mental domain that exists, with its own logic, that releases messages and images into ones conscious mind”.
The concept of the unconscious is that certain things cannot be comprehended in our conscious mind and instead arise in our unconscious mind when we are asleep and dreaming. This idea of the unconscious is represented in the above photograph in the way that it is divided in two, this being the conscious and unconscious that we continuously shift back and fourth between on a daily basis.

Authenticity
The idea of authenticity implies that one is to be unique or to be truly. Philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche states that “the view of an authentic way of life doesn’t imply something like a true self that is unique to everyone”. Authenticity shows whats real and is a crucial part of self expression. (Schönenberger, 2012)
For example a persons authenticity can be seen as their unique style, within a form of any expression, whether it be photography, film, painting etc. The video above shows an authentic speech being changed and ripped off, therefore showing us that an individuals authenticity is often portrayed by others as their own.
