What does your selfie say about your digital identity?
For today you were asked to have access to three to selfies. Please post them in a Medium post (if you are uncomfortable posting them, please email them to me so I alone can see them).
Once you have posted them, begin to think about what kind of identity you are crafting with them. Write a post considering to accompany your selfies that consider the following questions:
- How do your selfies perform race/ethnicity, social/economic status, sexuality/gender as a group?
- What choices do you make to present yourself and what does this say about you: Clothing, pose, facial expression
- How do you frame the picture to construct meaning about your image?Background, lighting, proximity, angle of the camera
- Are there other elements (people, animals, objects…) and what do they add to your identity in the picture?
- Does the image/do the images portray one identity trait more than others? Why/how?
- Did you “compose” these with intentions as the “Writing in the Moment” article suggests?
