Since 1994, photographer Ari Versluis and profiler Ellie Uyttenbroek have meticulously documented the fashion codes of various social groups through their series Exactitudes, a blend of the words "exact" and "attitude." They scout subjects on the streets, inviting them to their studio to be photographed while wearing the exact same outfits as during their initial encounter.

By placing their subjects in a consistent setting, with similar poses and strict adherence to dress codes, Versluis and Uyttenbroek create an almost scientific, anthropological examination of how individuals seek to define themselves through group identity. Exactitudes explores the construction of self, delving into themes of uniformity and individuality—highlighting the duality of our desire to stand out while simultaneously seeking connection within a community.
