These photographs are part of my most recent series of work
called "Symptomatic".
The series is based upon the subject of Mental Health Issues.
I decided to create this series of photographs as my friend
suffers from Bipolar Disorder.
The series is based upon the descriptions my friend gave to me
about her experiences with Bipolar Disorder; from these
descriptions I created the props and outfits featured within
the photographs.
The captions featured were also taken from the conversations I
had with my friend about her experiences.
It is my hope that these photographs will raise awareness about
Mental Health Issues.
These photographs were featured in INVISO Exhibition over the
summer which took place in Stoke-on-Trent before moving to
CUBE Gallery in Manchester.
The photographs formed part of an awareness conference
organised by Mind: For Better Mental Health; which
took place earlier this year and was aimed at discussing
Counselling for Adults and Young People.
I have recently been commissioned by Mind: For Better
Mental Health to work with them on an upcoming
project. I am going to be producing the photographs
for the campaign; which will be aimed at young males.
