Photography captures the external self, and can reflect the parts of us that we choose to communicate to the people around us. We wear different ‘masks’ depending on what social environment we are in, whether that be professional or personal. Having recently photographed Boxers and Reenactors, Kala Heatherson invites the audience to explore the vivid social identities in these communities and asks the question: What do the masks we wear say about who we are?
Kala Heatherson is a Documentary Photographer currently studying a BA Hons at the University of Lincoln. After several years of street photography in the heart of Sheffield, the camera has now become her way to connect with others, extensively documenting the people and communities around her. She is currently working on several series, and is documenting her own intimate, personal transition as a proud member of the LGBT+ community. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at [ Ссылка ]
