Treve Stevens 18.3.15

Here are a small set of images created in collaboration between Treve and myself. 

Both of us have had our own battles with mental illness and together we wanted to achieve a creative set of portraits that documented, rather than glorified or aggressively tackled, the sheer desperation isolation, sadness and rejection that comes from such an illness. This needed to be subtle more than anything, and I hope that we've been able to achieve that.

If you are suffering from any form of mental health illness and feel like you can't cope, there are places you can go, people you can talk to. Start here; www.mind.org.uk
