Mental Health, Mentorship & Megapixels
We all have something deep within the recesses of our minds that we carry with us. Some prefer to internalise; others prefer to speak out. Some wish they had guidance or someone like-minded to talk to. Some turn to escapism to help them cope. Through sharing my seemingly unconventional ways of interpreting reality, I hope I am able to help someone in one of those ways. I hope that this platform becomes a place where we can help and support each other, as a community, in photography and mental health. Welcome to Bipolaroid Photography!
