My Artistic Representation of Depression : "Darkness"

I find it very hard to talk directly about having suffered from depression. I created this photograph to try to explain it without words. When you are depressed it feels like a "darkness" has descended over you and you almost get pushed back into the shadows eventually becoming invisible.

This was taken using a Polaroid 250 Land Camera - sadly the film for this is no longer manufactured and remaining stocks are both very expensive and very variable in quality due to it's limited shelf life. In some ways it is apt that this photo was taken with it last year with my last film pack.

The model is the always great Rachelle Summers. I hope you like this work.
