ABOUT

This project shines a spotlight on the problem of male suicide.
In the UK three quarters of all suicides are men and suicide is the leading cause of death in Men undertake age of 50.
Action Man was a toy synonymous in portraying strength and masculinity, a stereotype that was installed into most young boys who played with the toy.

In this series I photographed the Action Man to seem as it they were real portraits, but the expression have then been altered to emphasise that even the strongest of men can feel Alone, Anxious or Afraid. Emotions that too often men see as a sign of weakness.
