Struggling with research

One thing I'm struggling with for this project is finding relevant research and pieces to help inspire me and make me want to continue. I'm doing very well on this front in the other module and it's good for me to be constantly be looking at people's work. I find it stimulates my own creativity and helps keep me motivated or inspired.

I'm trying to look at various journals and photography blogs to find inspiration and anyone who has made work slightly relevant for this project but it's not the easiest. Identity has been covered a million times but finding anything that is inspirational and I feel can aid me and my research; there aren't so many of those.

I did stumble across one Italian photographer, Jacopo Benassi. He is very much a documentary photographer, capturing his and his friends lives on a daily basis. He produced a book entitled "The ecology of image" and I've been looking at it. While it isn't exactly like my own project, it is interesting to see identity spilled so openly and honestly into a book. He and his friends aren't really holding much back and I find that approach very refreshing.
