These images are taken around digbeth and Aston.
I'm still not sure whether I would benefit from taking my images outside or inside. I think I would have to see when I re- visit these locations.
In my 2nd critique there were some questions raised as to whether I should photograph in urban areas, because of the stereotype attached to these places, but I think it could still work. These places have been marked and cut off from the rest of the city, in a similar way those with a mental disorder are cut off from the rest of society and aren't usually treated or seen in the same way as others. I understand now that it's not just about using the people and the locations separately, but treating the two as one issue.
Upon reflection, I decided to cut out grassy areas. I didn't feel that it would fit too well into my project if I took my images in these outdoor areas. Maybe if I was to look at displaying both the negative and positive side of mental illness, I could look into renew and rebirth, those things which you associate with nature. And looking into renew of thoughts and getting a new sense of perspective ( I was thinking about taking my images from a different angle).
