Visual Research - 'Being mentally sick'


The Idea of a bed in an institution, were they rest there minds - using a bed in a shoot, could even get the models to be lying down as if there in bed ?


Common room - were the 'mentally sick' amuse themselves for hours.


Love this shot and the idea of using a bath !!! Its like a beauty shot with a raw edge!


Could do a shot with a girl in a session with a therapist ?

All these images I found are all black and white, so there quite old and I kind of like the idea of using an older institution in the a shoot as they were more corrupt and people stereotypical view is that of older ones. Where as institutions today can just look like any hospital or apartment buildings. I would still keep the fashion modern and up to date, just implicate the ideas of an older institution. It creates more interest and drama in the shoot. So far I am really leaning towards this idea the cultural trend of being 'mentally sick' and I think it really pushes the boundaries in confronting ways.
