The title of this project is “Deep in One’s Heart.”

The societal issue I want to explore with my photographs is the mental health crisis, especially among young people, that has occurred because of the rising rates of anxiety, loneliness, and depression.

I want my audience to understand and feel empathy about the mental health crisis by looking at my portrait photography I captured. I also want the audience to feel that the photo is creative and unique.

I will draw inspiration and develop my ideas by searching for photographs that utilize high-quality lighting techniques, effective composition, and body movements, such as the movement of hands, hair, fingers, and eyes.
