Mental illness is a topic thats not taken as an important or major issue where i'm from. Its a topic that most people are embarrassed to talk about, Embarrassed to be vulnerable enough to say i need help.
After Battling Depression for a while and trying to talk about it as much as possible on Social media, As a photographer i wanted to use my skill to do a visual concept on mental illness. A photoshoot that will be able to be a conversation starter. A Visual project that will make it easier for people to understand that they are not alone in their mental struggle.
I edited the original photos in Photoshop to be able to provide a visual project that can tell a story.
