This Isn't Real: 2017
This Isn't Real: a photographic essay on advocating for reducing the massive stigma over mental health issues.
This book is a visual representation of living with anxiety and depression by the photographer with a dozen anonymous testimonials to further destigmatize mental illness and reach out to those currently suffering.
Due to the Pandemic and large printing costs making this book inaccessible to those who could benefit from the material- I released a PDF version of this book available upon request. Click the button below to email me for a copy.

“The actual cells of your body feel and scream fear.
Then it gets hazy and you lose real consciousness.
Then you come to life,
like you were hit with the heart paddles.
Your heart races and your temples throb as you just try to make sense of what just happened.”
(Age 26)*
Testimony and image from pages 18-19.*
