Woman at the beach, showing emotion and expression dealing with anxiety, grief, depression and mental health.

I shot this series of images with some of the more negative aspects of mental health in mind. The model is showing sadness, grief, anxiety, stress and is clearly internalizing things in the images. While it was really a great day and we had a fun shoot, I hope that these images can be used to help raise awareness and get a positive message out there about mental health.
