See Me... Photography Competition.

I was sent to photograph the local winners of the See Me... Photographic prize this week. The theme this year was 'Support' which turned up some quite interesting takes on the subject.

The competition is organised by the charity See Me... which aims at removing the stigma of people who suffer from mental health problems. It's a very worthy cause and is a great way of using photography to help reflect on people's attitudes towards mental health issues.

Of all the entries the one bellow caught my eye. It didn't win and isn't what you would call a great photo in the traditional sense but it still draws me in. It's a self portrait of a victim of bullying. Sad but reaffirming I think.
