MENTAL HEALTH AWARENESS SHOOT

This is a 2nd call for this casting.

Hey, my names Richard and I do shoots for models usually, but this is for something a little bit different. I'm a university student at Kingston and coming up soon is a themed week for mental health. As students we have the opportunity to exhibit our work at the end of this week. So i'm specifically looking for models with first hand experience of any mental health condition. I myself have battled, and in many ways continue to, depression, anxiety and addiction so this is an area very close to home for me. So I'm looking for like minded people willing to be honest and open about their experience and potentially be exhibited at a university showcase. As well as depression, anxiety and addiction any form of mental health experience is welcome to be part of this e.g schizophrenia, eating disorders, BPD, OCD etc.

Hoping to involve as many BAME and LGBT Models as possible, and want the participants to be as diverse as possible.

The images will all be designed to reflect each persons experience of mental health conditions and will comprise up to 3 images of each person. This is strictly a collaborative venture due to it's sensitive nature I feel making money from it would be somewhat problematic, and of course it's also an academic piece of work.

If this sounds interesting to you then hopefully we can work together and produce something really meaningful and exciting.

Sidenote: Nudity may be involved if relevant. I feel for example body dysmorphia may be best conveyed using nudity or even the fact it's a very vulnerable and open subject, but of course is not expected of any of the participants.

Cheers guys,

Rich, RMLShots
