Self Harming - ASSETS / WORK IN PROGRESS

After looking more in depth about Self Harming and the victim v attacker aspect of it, I thought it would be great for me to try out photography on my individual and see how I could use make up to design a self harming individual but also a normal individual.

What I thought about first and what I asked my friend was what did she see in the mirror when she used to Self Harm, the reason why is because I wanted to be able to portray this through make up. She said to me that she felt worthless, but not only that but she felt ugly, sad, not at peace with herself, tired, she felt as if she could not get better no matter what she did, and the way I have done her make up is I have wanted her to look tired and worn out but also sad and not feeling good about herself, I wanted to be able to portray what she had mentioned to me and how she felt to make a promise to her that I would treat this project with care and respect.

I feel that my photography could have more work done to it but at the moment for a starting point and something to get feedback on I feel that it can only get better from here.
