Alternative identity - Soldier.

For another of my alternative identities i will be posing as a soldier in an urban warfare environment, for this i will research weapons used by the British military. Alongside other equipment and clothing.

The standard issue rifle used by the British armed forces is the SA80A1 usually fitted with a SUSAT (Sight Unit Small Arms Trilux) Shown below.

Urban warfare. (identity)










Above are images i have taken around Mansfield of old and decrepit buildings that i think can be integrated into my composition to show urban warfare.


Metalheads!


What are metalheads? Metalhead is a popular sub-culture spanning the world who are fans of Heavy Metal music. They can be found at concerts head-banging and moshing to their favorite metal bands such as Iron Maiden, Metallica, Motorhead and Cannibal Corpse. There are literally too many metal bands to list here however attending a concert of such a band is a guaranteed metal head venue filled to the brim with long hair, band tees and beer! The common stereotype metalhead appearance is long hair, band t-shirts and combat trousers with boots or converse, although it doesn't stop there, the styles and appearances differ between people and the type of music they listen to. Some wear skinny fit jeans and sports trainers where others may be clad in leather jackets adorned with spikey studs and patches.

Metalhead is 1 of 2 personalities i am going to adopt for my project on identity. Using clothes i have at home i am going to adopt the style of the metalhead and manipulate an image of myself into a concert or maybe even playing in a band on stage. To do this i will research imaging from concerts and also research deeper into the style.
