risk assignment

for our last assignment we where given a assignment of risk where taking pictures with a risk element which could be a way it was taken or present of risk subject .i immediately thought of doing a depression awareness photos a subject close to my heart as i have suffered this for the last 6 years. While doing research i decided to make a book explaining to others the daily struggle of depression it took me along time to come up with the right pictures and text for the subject also while researching i found there is alot of links between mental health and photography ranging from therapeutic photography to it being used as a way to diagnose mental health by a psychiatrist in the past although this wasn't used much

This has been a extremely interesting subject and a very personal journey for myself also while researching i found out about art photography and came across Damien Hirst a artist using pills as a art form
something i found interesting and it was link to use

I also found out that there is another 11 weeks courses available which I'm hoping to do so watch this space
