Self Harming - Ideas

Still on the aspect of ideas and creating more ideas for my final image. I am still keeping to the aspect of mirrors and I have found a photographer who really captures the true essence of what they are actually taking and it will really create and have influence within my final photographers.

The photographer is Texas based Tom Hussey, his photographer which really touched me was the old man looking at himself in the mirror as a younger himself and in the forces, it is him reflecting on what he has been throughout his life and it is very touching and moving.

I feel this photograph can influence me due to the fact that when it comes to Self Harming individuals they look at themselves and see a different person they do not see themselves but they see another version of themselves a better version of themselves in a matter of fact, which in a way this photograph is doing, it is showing the old man looking back on his days as a solider and reflecting on the things he has done may be they were his best days of his life and it is the same for a Self Harming individual they want to go back to a place where they felt at their best.
