I want to take images based around the theme 'mental health'.You can't always tell when an individual is suffering from a mental illness so I would like to show the thoughts and feelings surrounding it by expressing emotion in a series of images.
I would like to express the negative effect that anxiety and depression have on people by showing emotion by capturing facial expression, movement and environment in a series of images. These images will be taken in black and white or turned black and white in post production. I am unsure yet as to whether I am going to use film but this would be a good challenge to face. I also have ideas to use a polaroid camera to add images alongside my main images.
I was thinking of taking a series of images showing negative emotion and then taking a series of images which are general portraits of the face showing a positive facial expression like a smile to contrast the other images. This would fit with my idea as the exhibition name idea is 'what the eyes cant see' so I will be showing the person in the portrait and then their hidden feelings in the negative emotion image which will be a creative portrait.
All of the images will be in black and white but if I use a polaroid camera, the images from that will be in colour.
