Within this project I wanted to express the importance of normalising mental health issues portraying this from a young person’s point of view, mainly using environmental portraiture and documentary photography. I have created a collection of cohesive images all linking towards the overall subject. I believe that the subject about mental health is still very taboo and stigmatised, it was my intention to create a project where it encourages the viewer into thinking about themselves and issues others may be dealing with. This is very personal to me. Due to this I have put a lot of thought into this project, wanting to approach this topic respectfully.
