Hi there I am not sure if I am doing this right. But I am looking for adults that as children have been the victim of bullying.
I was bullied from the age of seven to the age of sixteen, and I have decided for my masters study in Photography to explore this subject, as it is extremely close to my heart.
I am looking for 6 individuals, regardless of sex, who have suffered with this form of abuse.
I need to explain I will not be photographing you at all, what I wish to do is ask the individuals if they had a safe heaven that made them feel safe, for example I would go to the woods were I lived, the trees made me feel safe and even now as an adult, when I am feeling a tad stressed or unhappy I will go there and just walk. So what I intend to do is take a photograph of the woods when I was a child, they are still there even 45 years later :) and then wrap a piece of my clothing up on the branches, a dress my daughters used to wear, and then my BA degree to show acknowledgement that I am here and happy and that the bullying did not destroy me.
I would love to speak to like minded people, who would be interested in taking part in this study. I want my photography not to be in the face of the audience, but I would like them to question the nature of the photography. Also if I have gone about this the wrong way Mumsnet please could you let me know how I go about this . Kindest Regards Julie
