Invitation to be photographed

[blondie]

Good Day,

I'm a photographer with aims of photographing war and conflict, I am considering joining the forces and being an embedded photographer but first I want to talk to people who have already witnessed such things. I suffer from mental illness myself and so I think this is why I am drawn to the subject. I want to investigate the effects war has on soldiers and their families. I understand this is a difficult subject but I think it is one that needs more awareness. IF you or your family has been effected and wouldn't mind talking to me and being photographed then please get in contact. The images will be for my final major project and uni and I also hope to submit them into the Taylor Wessing Photographic Portrait Awards but that is all, its nothing political and will not appear in any other form of media.
Examples of my work can be found here www.behance.net/jayjade and I will send you copies of your photos.

That will be a non starter with regards to joining the Armed Forces.

As the above poster states mental illness is a big NO in the Armed Forces
