Another idea I wanted to focus on was the physical and emotion symptoms of a mental health disorder. These photos especially link with the video I am creating on body parts, however are not directly stills from the shoot.
When producing these images I imagined them large scale within a studio space. The images would be A1/A0 to create an impact and reinforce the message that mental health is not something that can be ignored. I purposely shown parts of my body which I normally wouldn’t want to draw attention to – lips being cut, no make up etc. and things that people would not consider beautiful. I want to focus the viewer to feel uncomfortable when viewing the images but like I said above, have no choice but to take note.
