TALK. is a portraiture project by Edinburgh-based photographer Graham Williams.
TALK. aims to encourage men to talk openly and honestly about their mental health by displaying portraits of individuals who have done exactly that.
TALK. portraits are taken after a conversation between sitter and photographer, during which they discuss their own journeys and experiences with mental health. The text displayed alongside each portrait comes directly from this conversation.
It’s time to TALK.
