Скачать или смотреть Niamh's Story - SHADOWS OF OUR SELVES

Niamh is a 20-year-old singer-songwriter from Norfolk, an advocate for ending the stigma around mental illness. In this video, she shares her journey with her mental health, an interview set to a song that she wrote, accompanied by photographs taken of her at home.

SHADOWS OF OUR SELVES is a project that formed the basis of my A' Level photography exam, exploring hidden things about people I'm close with. Shadows become a metaphor for things that are present that we can't see - just because they're obscured, that doesn't mean that they don't exist. This is one part of a series of three videos focusing on three women from different backgrounds, talking about their experiences of living with an invisible disability, invisible illness, and/or mental illness.
