We don’t talk about mental health enough.
Let’s Talk is a collaboration between myself and photographer Charlie Clift that aims to spark millions of conversations about mental health. By literally drawing people’s most difficult thoughts on their faces, we hope to inspire others to open up about their own mental health. We invited volunteers from all walks of life, plus a few well-known faces, to talk about their own experiences of mental health issues. Charlie and I chose the most poignant phrases from each interview for me to hand letter onto each subject's face and then he took their portraits. The results are a set of 17 images which have become part of a nationwide campaign supported by Mental health UK.
It’s ok to not feel ok. Speak up. Let’s Talk.⠀
