DATES TO BE AGREED ON CONFIRMATION OF MODELS, SUPPORT (Major project)

I am looking for support from any of my friends - Models, Designers, clothing, gowns and hat support,  someone who is good at making things to support each subject, Jewellery designers, Milliners, Make Up Artist, Photographers, Studio, Lighting experts, Students

I have a very exciting PROJECT coming up which will be taken over a period of 2/3 days, (Evenings, Fridays, and weekends), this is all about Hidden Disabilities and how we manage and cope with them,  how they effect us and how we manage the symptoms on a bad day and how they are different to people who do not struggle with these conditions.

I know a lot of us, suffer with these types of conditions, these range from

• Cancer
• Fatigue
• Autoimmune disease
• Stress/Anxiety
• Menopause
• water problems men and women
• Stoma
• ulcerative colitis
  
• Menopause
• Headaches/Migraines
• Hearing issues
• Eye Problems
• movement issues
• Amputation
• movement problems
• Size issues
• Confidence - never good enough
• Use of guide dogs and aids

The list goes on and on and on and on!!!!!

I am looking to capture these struggles in a series and demonstrate through the power of photo's the struggles we overcome on a daily basis against someone who does not - Strength Vs Normality

A mentioned before this project will be large and require as many peoples support as possible.

I need models and support to make this a real as possible,  everyone should be able to take part in this shoot if you have a disability or over coming struggles,  each  Photo will depict this.

FOR EXAMPLE -

1. someone who has a STOMA - will be shot against someone who does not - i want to get across the condition the struggles you have in order to live a day to day life,  (Extra clothes, additional equipment, having to have a go bag),  against someone who does not.
2. Someone who suffers a normal headache V's someone who has Migraines
   
3. Someone who has normal bodily functions against someone who has to be near a toilet all the time,  carries a card and radar key to manage the condition
   
4. Someone who suffers from stress and anxiety - who cant get out the house and have to make themselves to live Vs someone who just opens the door and leaves 
   

The sets and shoots will be very dependant on support -

•     Locations - Outside / in
•    Studio which I can borrow
•    Equipment
•    Clothing Dresses etc
•    Lights
•    Balls and Chains
•    Toilets
•    Ties ( tie up people)

Help - Friends - Artists - Photographers - set builders - location support or if you have time to give that can help coordinate and support and produce with me some off these pictures

Help - Studios who will allow us to use for 4 hours a week over the next 3 weeks (1 day a week) - potentially a Friday or Sunday

I hope you can help and support me with this project to make is a success to show what challenges we need to over come in our business..

Models,  this needs your support and help to come forward and make this project come to life.
