Moodboard

 Moodboard

I created an initial moodboard using images that I have come across on both google images and photographer's website as a starting point for my project. Once I had decided to explore mental illness for my project, I decided to google it to find out what photography had been done in that specific area previously. There was a large range of different types of photography, ranging from still life to portraiture, all documenting the theme of mental illness in their own unique way. 

These images are going to help inform the direction of my project as they have allowed me to identify what the specific genres I want to go down in my own project as well as what I want to explicitly portray. I am going to use a mixture of still life and portraiture to explore the theme of mental illness and various different aspects of it. The use of a mood board has further informed the direction of my project by making it clear that I want to use some form of movement in my project, as shown in certain images within the mood board.
